Pupil Personnel Services
South Orangetown Central School District is committed to supporting every student in achieving his/her/their fullest potential. Special education is integrated into each of the district’s four schools, with a strong focus on placing students with special needs in the least restrictive environment required for them to be successful. Within each school, a multi-disciplinary team of professionals and broad continuum of instructional and related services options support student growth. We work closely with families to build the strong home/school partnerships needed to help students succeed to their fullest potential.
If your child is struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. The first step is to contact your child’s teacher or school counselor.
