The Department of Student and Family Support Services works to ensure schools have the necessary tools, resources, and capacity to effectively implement a robust and proactive multi-tiered student and family support system. We strive to ensure that every staff person can see themselves in the work of student and family supports with clarity and precision, and every community member feels a sense of belonging, competence, and joy within the Salem Public Schools community.
Student and Family Support Services oversee:
- student and family support systems (City Connects)
- social-emotional learning
- culture and climate
- behavioral and mental health services
- attendance
- homelessness and foster care
- and nursing services.
If you would like to connect with a counselor at your child’s school, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the main office at your school.
