Student Services

The Student Services Department of MCSD exists for one primary purpose – to serve students. In order for students to achieve at their maximum potential they must be "available" for learning and must be "ready" to learn. Therefore, it is the role of Student Services to work collaboratively with school based and central office staff, family members, and community agencies to promote readiness to learn for all students. This must be accomplished by striving to remove the obstacles to student achievement on an individual basis.

To achieve this, Student Services will provide support for students within the scope of the following areas:

Attendance

• Chronic Absenteeism
• Truancy

Discipline

• Policies
• Code of Conduct
• Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
• Disciplinary Hearings

Wellness and Mental Health

• Character Education
• Social and Emotional Learning
• Prevention and Intervention

Special Programs

• Marion Virtual Academy

VISION

Improved outcomes for all students who are academically, socially/emotionally, citizen, and college/career ready.

MISSION

Promote the profile of the MCSD Graduate by combining empathy and support with personal accountability. We wil act in the best interests of each individual child by supporting the social-emotional, behavioral, wellness and academic needs of all students.

Student Services exist to serve...children.
