Student support teams: working together to serve all students
Each school in Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) has a dedicated Student Support Team (SST) composed of school counselors, school nurses, school psychologists, and school social workers. As a team, SST support students in the areas of:
- Academics
- College and career
- Health and wellness
- Social-emotional and behavioral development
Student Support Teams work together to provide lessons and services to all students, as well as small-group and individualized interventions in alignment with the ACPS Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS).
Additionally, Student Support Teams serve as partners with teachers, administrators, and other school staff in planning for and implementing programs that build resilience, foster student strengths, and ensure that every child thrives to meet their goals. Further, Student Support Teams are available to assist families with questions or concerns they may have about:
- Child development
- Academic functioning
- Mental health
- Physical well being
- Behavioral challenges
- Access to school and community resource
