Psychological and Social Work Services

A staff of psychologists and social workers provides psychological and social work services for students in the district. Psychologists and social workers are assigned to each building. Diagnostic and consultation services are available to students with emotional, learning, or behavioral problems, as well as to children with special needs. Students are referred to these services primarily through guidance counselors, teachers, and school administrators, although a parent also may request assistance. In addition, psychologists and social workers may provide group counseling for special education students according to their Individual Educational Plan (IEP). To meet other needs, the district School Psychologists and social workers offer education, intervention, and prevention programs in connection with drug and alcohol abuse.
