Support Services

ENL Department
Brewster Schools is proud to serve a diverse community. We work hard to support all learners and value the unique experiences students bring with them as they become a part of our classrooms. We currently offer three different programs to meet the needs of our English language Learners (ELLs).

Pupil Personnel Services
The Brewster Central School District is committed to creating a culture that embraces an inclusive school community.  Consistent with our obligations under the State and Federal Law, we are committed to educating all students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment.  Special Education services are generally available through the Committee on Preschool Special Education for preschool-age students (ages 3-5) and the Committee on Special Education for school-age students (ages 5-21) as prescribed under the Commissioner’s Regulations Section 200.6.  Programs are designed to help students develop skills needed to be successful in the 21st century as addressed in our Strategic Coherence Plan.

Mental Health and Social Emotional Wellness
The Brewster Central School District values all aspects of student learning. We follow a Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS) framework. In service to this model, we have adopted RULER at the K-5 level and COPE at the secondary level as a means of providing curricular and instructional supports to all students. Additional proactive measures, such as being clear and explicit about behavior expectations, are also essential to our approach. As students require more intensive interventions, we respond in a research-based and individualized manner.
