Local District South Pupil Services and Attendance

Mission

The mission of Pupil Services staff is to ensure that all LAUSD students are enrolled, attending, engaged, and on-track to graduate.

Purpose

Pupil Services Counselors are child welfare and attendance advocates who utilize a three-tiered model (prevention, early intervention, and intensive intervention) to improve individual and system-wide student attendance, engagement, achievement, and graduation.

Pupil Services Counselors work directly with students who experience difficulties in achieving their academic potential due to social/emotional, home, and community barriers.
