Student Support Services
Our goal is to help every student succeed in their academic, career and personal lives.
Student Support Services, which oversees BVSD's School Counseling Program, is responsible for developing curriculum and supports focused on academic success, career development and life skills. Additionally, we work to cultivate a district and school culture that celebrates diversity -- where everyone, including ALL students, are welcome, safe, included and supported.
