The staff of the Student Services Department of the Portage la Prairie School Division provides specialized clinical services to students throughout the Division, as well as generalized support to our administrators, teachers, educational assistants, and parents. Our primary role is to support our students in taking full advantage of the educational opportunities provided by the Portage la Prairie School Division.
The Student Services Department supports the students, staff, and parents of the Portage la Prairie School Division by providing a variety of specialists who are employed by the Division under the leadership and supervision of the Director of Student Services.
If you feel that your school-aged child requires the services of one of these professionals, you can consult with the Resource Teacher at your child’s school. They assist school teams and parents in accessing support for students.
