• We assist our students and families in identifying factors at home, school and/or community impact education success and work to reduce those barriers to learning. These barriers may include but are not limited to: truancy, alcohol, and other drug abuse, neglect, basic family needs, economic factors, behavioral difficulties, and mental health concerns.

• We educate the student in recognizing and managing emotions developing care and concern for others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, handling challenging situations, and how to reduce conflicts respectfully. Goal setting, decision making and problem solving are key components of instruction.

• We support parents, teachers, and administrators in understanding the students' developmental and educational needs.
