Welcome to the Division of Student Support Services. Our division is proud to serve the Rochester City School District, students, staff, and families.  The Division of Student Support Services supports the District's Vision and Mission by providing a continuum of programs and services to support student's academic, physical, social-emotional, and management needs, including those with special needs. The District's Office of Equity and Inclusion, Social-Emotional Learning and Supports, Multi-Tier Systems of Support, Department of Counseling and Social Work, Department of Special Education, Office of Parent Engagement, Office of Strategic Partnerships and Volunteer Coordinator, Primary Project, Community Health Centers, Youth Engagement Programs, RocRestorative Program, and the Attendance Department are all part of the Division of Student Services. 

Our Student Support Services Division supports the mission of the Rochester City School District for diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe in actively including and valuing all students and meeting their unique learning needs while developing their understanding and respect of difference, thus preparing them to live in an inclusive, global community and world. We envision a district where every student is encouraged to achieve their highest potential, maximizing our differences to achieve excellence. We will fully embrace our rich, diverse community as expressed through race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, ability, sexual orientation, nationality, origin, immigration status, language background and proficiency, and family structure.

Parents and caregivers are integral school partners in the education of their children. We welcome your input and support.
