Meet the SRR Student Support Team
Our Student Support Team is here to ensure students have what they need to succeed both academically and socially. We work to address potential barriers to learning that may arise in the classroom, at home, or in the community. By understanding students' social and emotional perspectives, we aim to build a strong connection between school, home, and the community.
