What is SSS?
Why have a Student Support Services Team?
All school districts in Pennsylvania are mandated to establish and maintain a program to provide appropriate counseling and support services for students who experience difficulties in school. The program has been in existence since1985 and has been maintained as a cooperative effort between the Pennsylvania Departments of Education, Health, and Public Welfare. The primary goal of the Student Support Services (SSS) is to help students overcome barriers in order that they may achieve, remain in school, and advance.
