Counseling & Student Services (CASS) - What do we do?
School Counselors provide a comprehensive school counseling program that improves student achievement and enhances the academic, career and personal/social development of all students. The comprehensive school counseling program is delivered through classroom lessons, individual student planning sessions, and individual and group counseling. School counselors collaborate with parents, teachers, administrators and other school staff to promote student success. School counselors also provide leadership and advocacy to promote equity and access to opportunities and rigorous educational experiences for all students.

School Psychologists are specially trained and licensed to provide a wide variety of services that help students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. In collaboration with educators, parents/guardians, and other mental health professionals’ school psychologists strive not only to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments for all students but also to strengthen connections between home and school. Utilizing leadership, advocacy, and collaboration, school psychologists promote overall academic success by providing services that enhance the student, school, home, and community partnerships and alleviate barriers to learning. In WCPSS, most school psychologists serve two schools.
School Social Workers are shared across multiple schools. They serve as liaisons between schools and families, serve on Student Support Teams, and work with other Student Support staff to provide intervention services. Social workers also play an important role with students who have attendance problems by helping parents be more accountable for their children's' school attendance.
