Pupil Personnel and Attendance Services

They collaborate with administrators, 父母, counselors and teachers, and use knowledge of 威尼斯官网在线 programs and community resources to determine interventions and placement for students. We recognize and value the role families play in the educational success of students and can help you with questions or concerns that may arise throughout the school year.

PPWs can be contacted by calling their assigned school, or by contacting Pupil Personnel and Attendance Services at 240-740-5620.
