Student Support Services
At Saint Joseph School, our Student Support Services team is dedicated to ensuring that each student receives the individualized assistance they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our Learning Center teachers are special education instructors who provide targeted interventions in reading, writing, and math. The team includes two Learning Center teachers and a grant-funded literacy specialist, all of whom are certified or trained in areas such as data tracking, progress monitoring, Wilson Phonics Instruction (K-2), and the Wilson Reading System (K-5). They collaborate closely with classroom teachers to develop plans for students' academic and social-emotional needs, offering both in-class support and pull-out services.
Our Child Study Team (CST) works alongside classroom teachers and school professionals to review and monitor student progress, ensuring that interventions are effective and adjusted as needed. The Student Services Team (SST), an interdisciplinary group of professionals, meets biweekly to oversee academic, behavioral, health, and wellness needs, providing guidance on special education, counseling services, and the overall physical health of students.
