Student Support Services A variety of support services are available at Commonwealth. Support personnel include the Resource Specialist, Speech and Language Specialist, Media Library Teacher, and the School Psychologist who services our school three days per week. In addition, there was a Counseling Intern from CSUF assigned to Commonwealth for a semester. This group of support personnel, along with classroom teachers, forms the Student Intervention Team which screens student referrals and offers assistance to teachers in designing interventions for students experiencing either academic or behavioral difficulty. Through this program we receive the services of a part-time social worker and two paraprofessional aides to work with kindergarten through third grade students who are having difficulties in school.
Counseling is offered for high-risk students kindergarten through sixth grade.
The school district maintains a list of qualified substitute teachers. There are a total of 180 substitute teachers on the district substitute list. There was one half day during the 1993-94 school year when a substitute teacher was needed at Commonwealth but none was available. There is a growing need for substitute teachers, especially for long-term placements. School Facilities Commonwealth's original school plant was constructed in 1955 and additions have been added as needed.
