Student Services
District 64’s mission is to inspire every child to discover, learn, achieve, and care. The Student Services Department is committed to ensuring this mission is first and foremost for all students in District 64. In addition, the Student Services Department is committed to forging a strong partnership with all parents, collaborating together to provide an appropriate educational program for each and every student, and keeping the lines of communication open.
For the 2018-19 school year, three special education coordinators along with an Assistant Director and Director will lead the District's important efforts.
