Support Services
In accordance to our mission and in recognition of our academic diversity, our Educational Support Services (ESS) teachers partner with classroom teachers, parents, and other professionals in order to ensure students are reaching their full learning potential.
MCS Educational Support Services
Educational Support Services (ESS) at MCS share a vision of inclusion for all students to learn with their peers. ESS teachers work alongside classroom teachers to create and implement interventions to support students’ learning gaps as well as small group and individual instruction to address specific needs.
The MCS Educational Support Services offer:
- Small group instruction
- Individual instruction
- Goal setting
- Review of student needs through the meeting of student success teams
- Referrals for educational evaluations through Muskegon Public Schools
- Speech, Occupational Therapy, and Social Work services provided through Muskegon Public Schools
Student Advocacy
We also have a Director of Teaching and Learning, a Student Advocate, and a Family & Student Support Specialist on staff to support and direct social, emotional, and behavioral growth at school. Students are able to take time away from class for breaks or come speak to these professionals in “The Hive” as needed. The student advocate gives social-emotional lessons to all of our classes. The students are given the appropriate tools and tricks to help them reach their full potential, not only in class, but also in real world scenarios.
