The Student Services Department provides comprehensive, collaborative and coordinated services to students, staff, and parents. All efforts focus on student success and the goals of the Paulding County School District.
The Student Services Department is composed of Behavioral Supports, Psychological Services, Response to Intervention (RTI), Student Support Team (SST), Section 504, and Exceptional Students Educational Programs (ESEP). This support system provides a seamless transition for at-risk students through a coordinated effort between general and special education.
The standard for the Student Services Department is to provide excellent service everyday. The Student Services Department is committed to empowering teachers by providing the support needed to meet the instructional needs of a diverse population, preschool through high school.
It is the belief of this department that every child can learn and should be afforded the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. To this end staff are committed to offering the highest quality services.
The department has made tremendous strides focusing on student achievement and staff accountability. The future is bright and the possibilities for success are endless as parents, staff and students work together toward a common goal … success in the 21st century.
