School Counselor(s)

School Counselors are licensed educators with specialized training to support students' academic, career, and social-emotional development.

They work collaboratively with teachers, families, administrators, and community partners to deliver a comprehensive school counseling program that meets the diverse needs of all students. Our counselors are dedicated to ensuring equitable access to support, resources, and services that promote educational success for every learner.

Prevention and intervention are key components of a school counselor's role. They design, implement, and evaluate programs that incorporate leadership, advocacy, collaboration, and systemic change to maximize student achievement. By focusing on these areas, school counselors help prepare students to be ready for college, careers, and active participation in their communities (WI DPI).

Social Worker(s)

School social workers use a variety of evidence-based strategies to help ensure that students are both physically and mentally prepared to learn in the classroom.

By employing a strength-based approach, school social workers view students and their environments as interconnected systems. They work to enhance the functioning and relationships within these systems to support student learning.

School social workers also actively engage with families and community organizations to foster better outcomes for students, such as improved academic performance, increased safety, better attendance, and enhanced social-emotional-behavioral functioning.

Typically, school districts focus their social work services on students who are facing challenges in school due to barriers to learning, whether these challenges stem from within the students themselves or from their surroundings (WI DPI).

Psychologist(s)

School psychologists use their expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to support the academic, social, behavioral, and emotional success of children and youth.

They collaborate with families, educators, school administrators, and other professionals to foster safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments. By strengthening the connections between home, school, and the community, school psychologists help ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive (WI DPI).

Health Services Team

The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District Health Services team is composed of school nurses, health assistants, and a Health Services Coordinator.

Each school is staffed with a school nurse and a health assistant dedicated to addressing students' daily and chronic healthcare needs.

Our team works closely with parents, guardians, community providers, and other MCPASD staff to support the health and well-being of our students, ensuring they are ready to learn and thrive in their school communities.

Intensive Support Specialists

Intensive Support Specialists are vital members of our school district, dedicated to assisting school teams, students, and families with intensive needs. They focus on enhancing mental health support, increasing student engagement, and helping students with emotional regulation and goal achievement.

These specialists provide personalized interventions and strategies tailored to each student’s needs. They play a crucial role in fostering supportive and inclusive learning environments by promoting positive behaviors, addressing barriers to learning, and guiding students toward academic and personal success. With their expertise in mental health and student engagement, Intensive Support Specialists help build resilience and improve outcomes for students facing significant challenges.
