- Overview
Student Support Services
-
The Peoria Unified School District has established a district-wide Student Support Team to support the need for social emotional learning within our schools. As a result, the district has adopted a comprehensive model to better serve the needs of students. Within this model there are multiple levels of support illustrated as funnels, which are detailed below. The funnels address the need for support from the district, school, teachers, students, parents and many community partners. We want to provide you additional background on the funnels: - Tier I of every funnel represents the most proactive and foundational components to addressing the social emotional needs of every student, every day.
