At Livingston Union School District, we are proud of the dedicated team behind our Student Support Services!

Our School Psychologists, Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) work together to support students with special needs and help every learner reach their full potential.

From communication and social-emotional development to behavior support and learning strategies, our team provides specialized services tailored to each student’s unique needs. Most importantly, they work closely with teachers, families, and school teams to make sure our students feel supported, understood, and successful.

We are grateful for this amazing team and their commitment to helping every student learn, grow, and thrive!

This summer, Livingston USD students participated in UC Merced’s Summer Math Academy, gaining valuable math skills, building confidence, and preparing for success in the year ahead. Programs like this give students the opportunity to challenge themselves, experience learning in a new environment, and see what’s possible when they set high goals.

We are grateful to UC Merced for investing in our students and helping create pathways that strengthen academic readiness and inspire future college and career success. This summer was LMS's fifth year participating in the math camp.

Way to go, LMS students! Keep learning, keep growing, and keep reaching higher!
