SSHS operates 20 Student Support Centers at schools throughout
the district to provide support to students who are struggling
socially, emotionally, behaviorally and/or academically. At each
center, a coordinator works closely with school staff to identify
students in need of assistance. Once identified, social workers,
family advocates, interns and community partners work directly
with students and parents to address issues that are of concern
to them, drawing on other resources for additional support.

The SCUSD School Board also adopted an Anti Bullying policy in
June 2011 to help ensure a caring and nondiscriminatory learning
environment for all students.

What if the most important adults in a child’s life were on the
same page, working together toward the student’s success? Parent
Teacher Home Visits build relationships, skills, and engagement
for families, educators, and students from pre-K to 12th grade.
We were started by parents, community organizers and teachers in
order to stop the cycle of blame and catalyze real relationships
between home and school — all in support of our common
goal, our kids’ success.
If you would like to participate in Pacific’s Home Visit Project,
contact your child’s teacher.
