Pupil/Special Education Services

The pupil services disciplines of school counseling, school nursing and school psychology are essential to the success of children in the Kimberly Area School District. Professionals trained in these disciplines provide a bridge between learning and mental, physical, emotional, and social health factors that determine educational achievement and life success. These pupil services providers use a variety of strategies to help meet our children's needs that include providing direct service to students, staff members, families, and acting as liaisons between classroom teachers, families, community agencies, and neighborhoods.

School Counseling

Our curriculum is based on the Wisconsin School Counseling and the American School Counseling Association Standards. Each elementary and intermediate school is served by a school counselor; the program is preventative in nature. The middle and high schools are also served by counselors who work with students, parents, and other support staff to serve the developmental needs of our students.
