Dr. Skoropad and Mr. Z … Meet Your Student Support Team

We work behind the scenes and alongside teachers who notice when a student might need a little extra support, and to make sure that support gets to them quickly, whether that's academic help, developing organizational skills, or building positive relationships. We work to support all students by ensuring the right resources reach the right kids at the right time. As an additional resource at this school for parents and students alike, feel free to reach out to us team at any time.
