Student Support & Resources

Student Support Advocates

The Stanwood-Camano School District’s Student Support Advocates (SSAs) are here to help students and families access essential resources that support well-being and success.

How our SSAs help

Our SSAs work closely with students and families to remove barriers and connect them with community supports, including:

• School supplies and clothing

• Food and hygiene items

• Access to medical and behavioral health care

• Referrals to local and county community services

• Help navigating other basic needs and resources

Student Support Advocates serve every school in the district — from elementary through high school — and can be reached through our dedicated message line at 360-629-1480. Please leave your name, contact number, and a brief description of your need, and one of our advocates will return your call as soon as possible.
