Student Support Services

The After School Extended Day Program (ASEDP) is a research-based program designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment to support student academic achievement through experiences that build self-esteem and character. The program provides an enriched academic environment balanced with a variety of engaging, fun, interactive, and well-organized activities. These extracurricular activities support STEM initiatives, cultural arts, sports, and academic enrichment. The program is available in select schools for students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.

School social workers are trained professionals that function as a link between the home, school, and community to empower students to learn as effectively as possible in their educational programs. This is done through assessment, collaboration with school staff and community providers, and through the provision of direct services.

Any student attending a DeKalb County school is eligible for social work services. To obtain the assistance of the school social worker, a written referral can be made by lead teachers, counselors, assistant principals, and principals.

For more information, visit the Social Work Services page. 

The Student Health Services program has one coordinator, registered nurse (RN) and seven consulting registered nurses (RN’s) who provide supervision of healthcare services to all school based nurses and school health personnel; consults with school staff members, administrators, students and parents; provides training and staff development; and collaborates on student health screenings and communicable disease surveillance with the state and county agencies. Each consulting nurse serves an assigned cluster of elementary, middle and high schools.

The Title IV, Part A Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) programs are federally funded programs designed to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing DCSD’s capacity to:

• Provide all students with access to a well-rounded education;
• Improve school conditions for student learning; and
• Improve the use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.

This includes ensuring the implementation of district-wide prevention efforts that promote a drug and violence free environment as well as assisting with the integration of whole child-centered support programs and trauma-informed care efforts and services in support of the district’s strategic plan for school improvement.
