Student and Family advocate services are available to help all students and their families get connected with resources within the school and community. We believe that students learn best when their family’s basic needs (such as shelter, food, etc.) are met.

• Access to district food and resource rooms
• Support navigating community resources, including housing, healthcare, emergency financial help, food pantries, employment, DHS benefits, and more.
• School-sponsored sports fees
• Connecting with counseling and therapeutic support services
• Connecting with health services
