Each building has a trained team of professionals who serve on this team, including administrators, teachers, school counselors, school social worker, school psychologist, and a nurse. The process starts with a referral from any parent, staff member, or student, which can be submitted anonymously.

Mental health case management services are also available to referred students.
Student Attendance
Student Attendance
A foundation of student success is regular school attendance. In Pennsylvania, student attendance requirements are set by both state law and local school districts. According to the Pennsylvania School Code, students between the ages of 6 and 18 are required to attend school. All absences are either excused or unexcused based upon state and district criteria. Student absences may be excused by parents by submitting notes via email, mail, fax, or by calling the school. Absence excuse notes and educational trip request forms may be found here. See Board Policy 204 for additional details.
