Student Support Centers

 

 

Brayton, Greylock, Sullivan, Conte, and Drury now all have a Student Support Center (SSC). The SSC (staffed by fulltime coordinators), provides proactive support and skill building in order to help students positively change their social, emotional and behavioral choices. The SSC does not provide disciplinary action and/or punitive consequences to students.
