The mission of Social Services is to eliminate barriers to academic success for all students. This mission calls for a variety of services including, but not limited to: assistance with applying for free and reduced lunch, coordination of welfare and homeless services with other state and local agencies, and attendance issues. Ms. Platts works closely with teachers, administrators, parents, outside organizations and, of course, students, to ensure student needs are met.The social services office is located in Susquehannock High School, but services are provided to students at all schools.General and specific questions about District social services should be addressed to Ms. Jill Platts at 717-235-4811 Extension 4571, or by email at jill.platts@sycsd.org.
