Student Services
Student Services
Our student services teams play a vital role in supporting students' academic, emotional, social, and physical well-being. These services encompass a wide range of resources and programs designed to help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom. From counseling and career guidance to health and mental well-being support, student services aim to create a safe and positive environment that fosters personal growth and academic achievement.
Counselors
The mission of the KASD School Counseling Program is to enhance student achievement by helping all students become responsible, self-motivated individuals prepared for a rapidly changing world. Counselors support students in academic, personal, social, and career development through a curriculum based on the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards, adapted from ASCA guidelines.
Information shared with counselors is confidential unless it involves self-harm, harm to others, abuse, or neglect, in which case it must be reported to parents or appropriate agencies. Any additional disclosures are made with discretion and in the student’s best interest.

Social Workers
School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a degree in social work who support students’ social, emotional, and behavioral well-being. They serve as a vital link between home, school, and community, offering both direct and indirect services to promote student success.
Their work includes developing treatment and transition plans, advocating for student needs, providing case management and referrals, collaborating with staff and families, conducting home visits, and supporting students experiencing homelessness or foster care. Social workers also address issues related to attendance, truancy, and dropout prevention, implement trauma-informed practices, and assess mental health and substance use concerns.

Nurses
Each KASD school is supported by a licensed School Nurse and health educational assistants who help ensure students' well-being and readiness to learn. School Nurses lead comprehensive health programs that promote wellness and support student success.
Their responsibilities include caring for sick or injured students, managing individual health needs, handling emergencies, addressing routine health concerns, and serving as a health resource for students, staff, and families. They also help prevent and control communicable diseases, contribute to health policy development, and promote wellness within the school and broader community.
