A message from Julie Pineda
Hi, Park Family!
My name is Julie Pineda and I'm the Community Schools Specialist at Park Elementary.
I coordinate and work with the COST team to help maximize and expand available resources at our school and increase our school's capacity to respond quickly and appropriately to a wide range of student needs.
What is COST?
Coordination of Services Team (COST) is a multidisciplinary group of school staff and community partners who meet regularly to review referrals and discuss students’ strengths and supports needed. The team develops a plan for connecting the student/family to appropriate services, then monitors the success of service connection and interventions giving opportunity to tailor interventions over time.
COST Supports:
-
Students who are experiencing challenges in academia.
-
Students who are expressing concerning behavior(s) either in the classroom and/ at home.
-
Students & families needing support with basic needs, home environment, health concerns, etc.
-
Students & families facing traumatic events, transitional hardships, change in family dynamics, etc.
If you have any questions about COST, the COST form process, or help filling in the form, email me: jp738@husd.k12.ca.us or call (510) 602-5353 or Ext 25130 from Park phone menu
