Working with families
creative solutions for maintaining special education, at-risk and alternative education students within the district; keeping families connected to their communities and ensuring that students remain in the classroom to receive high quality, rigorous curriculum and instruction from the district’s public school teachers.
“School Based Services has provided outstanding student services to East Windsor Public Schools in a variety of areas over the last three years. SBS has been instrumental with the development and implementation of programs and student services to meet the social/emotional, mental health, transition, and transportation needs of many students within our school district. SBS is responsive, flexible, and creative in their work to develop and maintain high quality programming. I highly recommend their services without reservation.”
— Dr. Patrick Tudryn, Special Education Director, East Windsor Public Schools
“Agawam Public School’s has partnered with School Based Services (SBS) for the past two years. As a public school district, our goal is to educate our students in the least restrictive environment. Some of our most difficult students are being educated effectively in our school district thanks to the partnership we have developed with SBS. They are able to effectively implement behavior management strategies while providing positive, creative, solution focused interventions in the classroom, all aligned with the philosophy of our schools and programs. Their ability to work with both our teaching staff and administration is outstanding.”
— April Rist, Director of Special Services, Agawam Public Schools
