Student Support Services
Purpose
Staff at Central Middle School partner together to provide support for your child. Each student is assigned to a counselor and Administrative Dean. These roles, in coordination with our Administrators, MTSS Coordinators, Social Workers, and School Psychologists, convene regularly to review student academic performance, attendance, and behavior-related concerns.
Administrative Deans
Administrative Deans assist students in achieving academic success by promoting positive behavior and support students and families with questions regarding student conduct.
