Student Services |
What are "Student Services" in the DeForest Area School District?
The student services disciplines of school counseling, school nursing and school psychology are essential to the success of children in the DeForest Area School District. Professionals trained in these disciplines provide a bridge between learning and mental, physical, emotional, and social health factors that determine educational achievement and life success. These student services providers use a variety of strategies to help meet our student's needs that include providing direct service to students, staff members, families, and acting as liaisons between classroom teachers, families, community agencies, and neighborhoods.
