Student services

Anoka-Hennepin Schools will effectively educate each student for success through equitable distribution of district resources, targeted intervention and enhancements, and supporting staff to meet the needs of all students.

This will be accomplished through effective educational practices, policies, and curricula, resources, and school cultures that are representative of all students, such that each student has access to meaningfully participate and make progress in high quality learning experiences, resulting in positive outcomes regardless of race, socio-economic status, gender, ability, religious affiliation, national origin, linguistic diversity, or other characteristics.

School Counselors

Helping students reach their full potential

It is the primary mission of the Anoka-Hennepin School Counseling Program to support students in developing an individual vision of success to meet their academic, personal/social, post-secondary, college, and career readiness goals.

School counselors collaborate with students, families, community members, and school personnel to assure that all students realize and integrate their academic, career, and personal/social potential in order to develop and achieve an individualized vision of success.

  • Collaborate – school counselors collaborate with students, families, school staff, and community partners to help schools achieve their mission and students reach their goals.
  • Academic support – school counselors help students with topics such as academic organization, course planning, study skills, and post-secondary preparation.
  • College and career planning – school counselors help students identify possible career paths through interest inventories, personality type assessments, and learning style tests. Counselors help students understand the connections between their academic learning, post-secondary education and training, and their career goals.
  • Personal/social support – school counselors help students with issues such as bully prevention, anger management, problem solving, and cooperation. Counselors work with families to find students additional support if needed.

Homelessness/McKinney-Vento

Federal law 504 for special accommodations

Section 504 is a federal law designed to protect qualified students with disabilities. It requires that school districts provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to qualified students who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Eligibility for 504 services are determined through an evaluation process at the student's school of attendance. If determined eligible, school staff work with parents and the student (when appropriate) to create a 504 Accommodation Plan designed to meet the students individual needs.
