Student Support Services

Student Support Services provides academic, social and emotional support for students throughout the three divisions.  Two Instruction Resource Specialists and the School Counselor staff this department, working in close collaboration with faculty members and administrators. 

Instruction Resource Specialists

Referrals for possible learning issues may be generated by students, parents, teachers, or administrators.  All educational evaluations are outsourced and the parent initiates this process with guidance from the School Counselor and the Division Head.  Testing may be pursued privately or through the City of Waterbury's PPT process.  Upon completion of the evaluation, the recommendations are reviewed and implemented as considered reasonable and possible within the context of the School's curriculum. 

School Counselor

The School Counselor is available to any member of the School community for short-term counseling, family consultation, or crisis intervention. Upon referral, the Counselor will meet initially in confidence with the student (and if appropriate, teachers and parents) to assess the situation.  Following this initial assessment, recommendations are made which may include referrals for outside evaluation, testing or counseling.  Students needing ongoing therapy are required to seek this service outside of the School.
