• Counseling and Social Work Services

     

    School counselors are trained, certified educators who improve student success for all students. School counselors help all students apply academic achievement strategies, manage emotions and apply interpersonal skills, and plan for postsecondary options (higher education, military, work force). They lead, advocate, and collaborate to promote equity and access for all students by connecting their school counseling program to the school’s academic mission and school improvement plan.

    School social workers are trained, certified mental health professionals with a degree in social work who provide services related to a person's social, emotional and life adjustment to school and/or society. School social workers are the link between the home, school and community in providing direct as well as indirect services to students, families and school personnel to promote and support students' academic and social success.

    District Student Support Services staff collaborate with families, community partners, and school-based mental/behavioral health providers to engage in student assistance programming that is responsive to school-based needs.

    Please reach out to your child’s designated counselor or social worker regarding (but not limited to): Attendance, foster care, homelessness, mental health support, 504 plans, Student Assistance Program (SAP), graduation requirements including Pennsylvania Act 158 of 2018, credit recovery, dual credit information, SAT and ACT prep information, college and career planning.
