Student Study Team (SST)

Each school in Union School District implements the SST process to assist students and their families, along with the school team to address needs of all students.  Each school's SST Team is comprised of school administration, the student’s teacher,  parents, the student (if appropriate) and other staff with knowledge of the student. The team may assist in issues related to classwork, homework, attendance, school adjustment or other matters.  The school may contact you to schedule a meeting with the team. Parents may also contact the school to request an SST Team meeting to discuss any concerns they may have in regards to their child's progress.
