OBJECTIVE
The role of the Pupil Services staff is to support and strengthen the work of the administrator and teachers in their work with and for children.
STRUCTURE
Pupil Services must be integrated into the administrative organization and instructional program of the school system. The Pupil Services Administrator is a member of the administrative staff on the same level with other major assistants to the School Director. Such an organizational structure promotes maximum coordination and communication with administration and instructional supervision at all levels.
PERSONNEL
The Department is comprised of counselors, psychologists, health personnel, advisement program coordinators, and team of educators providing special services.
LOCATION
The central office of Pupil Services is located on the third floor of the Administrative building. Counseling offices and classes for special programs/services are in section buildings, according to grade levels.

FUNCTION
Pupil Services provide psychological services, guidance services, special education, school health services, consultative services, and pupil appraisal services.

A. PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Psychological services are provided by certified school psychologists. The primary function of the school psychologists is to conduct psycho-educational evaluation of children referred because of learning and behavior problems and to use the results in consultation with children, parents, teachers, administrators, and other professional workers in the school system and community.

B. GUIDANCE SERVICES
The primary function of the school counselors is to provide individual counseling services to pupils on matters pertaining to educational, vocational, and personal-social concerns.

C. SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES
School health services are coordinated by a nurse and a medical officer. Their primary function is to identify, refer, and follow-up pupils with health problems. They also give aid to students, teachers, and staff for emergency and treat minor injuries and illnesses occurring at school.

D. PUPIL APPRAISAL SERVICES
The primary function of pupil appraisal services is to coordinate a school-wide individual and group testing program, and to interpret the results of the testing program to personnel throughout the school and community. The purposes of the assessment are various: to enroll and place students, to report their growth in cognition and skills or subjects, and to appraise curriculum strengths and weaknesses.

E. SPECIAL SUPPORT SERVICES
The primary function of special support services is to meet the instructional needs of children whose educational needs cannot be successfully met entirely in the regular classrooms. The ratio of teachers to children in the special support programs is related to the type of exceptionality needs, and age range of the group. Instructional materials are modified to fit the needs of the child as dictated by intellectual functioning, academic skills, and type of exceptionality.

F. CONSULTATIVE SERVICES
Psychologists and counselors consult with parents and teachers regarding strategies to help students deal with and resolve personal concerns.

G. ADVISEMENT
The Advisement program is offered in the Middle School and to ESL classes in the High School. Students at each grade level are divided into Advisory Groups which meet for 10 minutes each day and for a 45-minute period once a week. The groups participate in residential or on-campus workshops as scheduled during the year.

H. PEER TUTORING
Peer tutoring is a method of having children help other children learn by pairing high school students maintaining a minimum G.P.A. of 3.0 with students who require help with understanding assignments, English language and completion of homework.

I. CRISIS INTERVENTION
Crisis intervention is an immediate response designed to prevent damaging physical and psychological results following a personal, community, or school traumatic situation. It can and should be given by persons who first see the need at the time and place a crisis occurs. A site team composed of administrators, counselors, psychologists, and teachers is established to implement the crisis intervention action plan.

A. PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
School Psychologist conducts psychoeducational evaluation of children referred because of learning and/or behavior problems. The assessments results are used in consultation with children, parents, teachers,
administrators, and other professional workers in the school system and community.
