The Educational Support Services team is dedicated to nurturing both the academic and social-emotional growth of all students. Grounded in a growth mindset and in strong partnership with families, we strive to ensure that every student makes meaningful progress and feels valued as a learner and as an individual.
Our department provides leadership, coordination, and support across the District so that teachers and administrators have the tools and resources to help every student thrive. Together, we align and implement high-quality programs and opportunities that reflect our collective commitment to excellence and equity, including
- TK-8 Curriculum and Instruction
- Professional Development for Staff
- Assessment and Data-Informed for Staff
- Programs for English Learners

Through this work, we support an educational experience that is anchored in Tier I excellence and designed to help students achieve their academic and creative potential. Our goal is for every child to thrive in the 21st century by developing the 5C’s: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Character.
Above all, we are committed to the District’s mission of “Opening the Door to Every Child’s Future.” Every interaction, every partnership, and every effort we make is centered on ensuring that all students are prepared to succeed not only in school, but in life.
