Programs

Student Support

Counseling, academic support, attendance engagement, behavior supports, and steady family communication.

Support That Reaches Every Student

In a school this size, no student disappears. Staff notice when something changes and act early — a conversation, a check-in, a call home, or a coordinated plan.

Counseling & Social-Emotional Support

Support for students working through personal, social, or emotional challenges.

Academic Support

Small-group and individual intervention during and after the school day.

Attendance Engagement

Partnering with families early when attendance becomes a barrier to learning.

Behavior Supports

Clear expectations, consistent follow-through, and skill-building rather than exclusion.

Family Communication

Regular contact so families are never surprised by what is happening at school.

Referrals & ResourcesConnecting families to county and community resources when appropriate.

Homeless & Foster Youth Support

Family Support

Housing Instability & Foster Placement

Families experiencing housing instability, or students in foster placement, should contact the district liaison. The liaison works with families to remove enrollment and school-access barriers, including registration, records, transportation questions, and school stability. Individual student situations are kept confidential.

What The Liaison Helps With

Enrolling without the usual paperwork on hand, keeping a student at the same school when housing changes, school records, and connecting families with the right district and county contacts. Reach out early — the sooner we know, the fewer school days a student misses.
