    Support for every learner

    Every child learns differently. SNACS works with families to support students’ academic, social, emotional, and health needs.

    Depending on eligibility and student needs, support may include classroom support, academic intervention or enrichment, special education services, IEP and Section 504 support, speech and language services, counseling referrals, and multilingual support where available.
