It is the first priority of the Student Services Department to provide students with the support and tools they need to be successful throughout their school careers and beyond.  The Student Services Department assists families and school team members in addressing the needs of students with various special circumstances. 

Our Mission

To work collaboratively in providing integrated support and services that foster individual student success.

Our Vision

Taking the lead to be a national model in instruction and supports for exceptional students, the Westfall Local Schools Department of Student Services will collaborate to provide a strong array of innovative practices and high-quality services focused on preparing all students for life.

Meeting the Diverse Learning Needs of Students

The Department of Student Services ensures that students with disabilities receive the instruction and support needed to achieve. Special education and related services are offered to children ages three through twenty-one in public and non-public schools.

These services support the district’s mission of helping all children to succeed, based on high expectations, with support and opportunities for students to grow socially, emotionally, and physically.

The department provides strong instructional support and early intervening services that assist children in reaching their highest potential by:

• Improving academic achievement

• Increasing access to general education

• Strengthening support and services in our schools

• Improving behavior and health programs

• Improving the use of instructional technology

This work is based on a welcoming and nurturing school community with strong partnerships and relationships with parents and students.
