What are student and parent educational services?
Mr. Skowronski understands that need for parents and students to address a whole child approach to education. It is defined by policies, practices, and relationships that ensure each child, in each school, in each community, is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. Student and parent educational services is an approach to foster resiliency and assist in the development of social and emotional health of students. We do this by providing developmental childhood services, prevention services, and mental health services.
