Helendale School District

 

Director of Pupil Services

 

The Department of Pupil Services provides a range of support services that enable students to benefit from the Helendale School District educational program. Our Pupil Services staff are a critical part of the student’s total school experience. The Pupil Services Department provides individual and system wide support in the areas of Early Intervention, Special Education, Section 504, Health and Nursing, Psychological and Counseling Services, Home Hospital, and Homeless and Foster Youth Services.  Our mission is to develop well-rounded individuals by supporting students, staff, and families.

 

Special education services can include specialized instruction in the general education classroom, in a special education classroom, or in other settings. Classes and programs serving students with special needs are located in preschool, elementary, middle, and high school students.

 

 

We help students and families in transition with enrollment, staying in school of origin, access to educational and transition services, transportation services (when appropriate), and with referrals to community resources.

 

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act defines homeless children and youth as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, including those who:

 

Share housing with other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason (sometimes referred to as doubled up).
