Welcome to the Department of Pupil Services. We believe that every student deserves a Free Appropriate Public Education that maximizes their potential. The primary responsibility of the department is oversight of all phases of the district's special education programs, which includes the Helping Hands Preschool and out-of-district placements that involve Medina students. Other responsibilities include providing assistance with English Learner (EL) issues, providing Section 504 disability support, assisting with positive behavior interventions & support implementation (PBIS), and guiding Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) implementation.
The Department of Pupil Services is committed to creating an inclusive and nurturing environment for each student. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our knowledgeable team. We are here to support you every step of the way.
For additional information on the Helping Hands Preschool, please visit Helping Hands Preschool at Heritage.
School Psychologists
Medina City Schools believe that our school psychologists are valuable resources in assisting the buildings they serve in solving academic or behavioral difficulties. School Psychologists help in the process of implementing our multi-tiered systems of support model, as well as many aspects of positive behavioral interventions and supports. If you believe that your child is struggling and needs assistance of some kind, please contact the school psychologist assigned to your child's building using the contact information below.
