Student Services & Campus Support
The Student Services and Campus Support Department facilitates a wide range of coordinated programs and interventions to support all students' health, well-being, and academic success. Our department is responsible for helping to support students and campuses with behavior management, attendance, health services, counseling and social-emotional learning, and student data management. Our goal is to expand social, emotional, and wellness support for students and families to overcome barriers to academic success.

Restorative Practices - Tijuana Hudson, Director
Restorative Practices provide schools with a framework to build community, strengthen relationships, and improve school climate. When Restorative Practices are implemented consistently, schools see improved relationships on campus, increased student accountability for misbehavior, and dramatic reductions in suspension rates, DAEP placement, and expulsion.
