SCHOOL SUPPORT SERVICES help to ensure that each student’s day goes as smoothly as possible.
School Registry staff ensures that there are qualified substitutes in classrooms. Day after day, the well trained transportation staff provides a quality ride to school for all students. Our campuses are well maintained by the Facilities Department, and Health and Safety technicians ensure the safety of students and staff.
Other school support services include Technology Services, Print Centers, Records Management and Communications, a department responsible for media relations, publications and the Rockland BOCES website.
Each of these services enable BOCES to remain a strong link with the county school districts and each of our community partners.

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS provide outstanding workforce training in vital professions throughout Rockland County. Year after year, CTE students say the benefits of being a Rockland BOCES CTE “completer” are immeasurable.
Class sizes are small; the teaching staff is dedicated and accomplished; there are responsive and engaged student support services, and the classrooms and shops are state-of-the-art.
A high percentage of CTE completers start college with as many as 11 college credits. Students in the Communications Academy, Constructions Trades Academy, Culinary Arts, and Medical Careers Academy are able to earn industry certifications upon passing standardized industry tests—a real advantage in today’s job market.
Internships and community work based projects are an integral piece of a Rockland BOCES career education.

HUDSON VALLEY P-TECH students expect to complete this six-year program with several items crossed off their to-do lists:
They will be high school graduates; they will have simultaneously earned an Associate’s degree in a STEM area; they will have benefited from mentorships, and they will be first in line for an entry-level position with a business that has signed on as a P-TECH partner.
In the inaugural year of the program, students participated in several community-based, hands-on projects, including building a sensory garden with Kaplan students and observing the installation of solar panels at a capped landfill, a field trip made possible by the collaboration between the Town of Clarkstown, and a nationally recognized P-TECH business partner.

From the CABAS partnership with Columbia University’s Teachers College to Project SEARCH at Good Samaritan Hospital and the dozens of local employers who provide work-based learning opportunities, collaboration that wraps around and supports students and their families is a cornerstone of STUDENT SERVICES.
Whether it’s celebrating a student’s success with an assistive device, a student earning a Regent’s diploma and acceptance to college, or a Project SEARCH intern landing a paid job, the work of Student Services is a credit to the strength of community partnerships.

BERC, the hub of the ADULT EDUCATION DIVISION, is the epitome of BOCES being rooted in the community.
From the more than 3,000 adults who are learning the English language to those working toward earning their high school equivalency to those who are trying to determine their career path, programs and services offered through the Adult Education Division provide pathways to better futures for adult learners.
Among programs provided to young adults in the community is the ROCKLAND COUNTY CAREER CENTER, launched in collaboration with RCC and the county, which offers a variety of career services.
THE CENTER FOR SAFE AND HEALTHY YOUTH, a partnership among county agencies, offers a collaborative response to issues affecting the local young adults and is also housed at BERC. Opened in Spring 2015, the center has already served several dozen families.

The benefits of being a career education student at Rockland BOCES are many.
Through SKILLSUSA, students put their wits and skills to the test in challenging competitions ranging from job interviews, to medical math, to crime scene investigations.
Over the past several years, the number of students participating in SkillsUSA has grown, as has the number of medals earned by Rockland competitors.
The NATIONAL TECHNICAL HONOR SOCIETY recognizes the achievement of leading career and technical education students, provides scholarships and cultivates excellence in a highly competitive, skilled workforce.
In 2015, more than 50 students were inducted into the society and a Medical and Nursing Fundamentals student was awarded a $1,000 NTHS scholarship.

From direct instruction and staff development programs, to the coordination of the History Day competition and the annual Rockland Read In, Rockland BOCES provides a wide range of services, support and training, including workshops for leaders so that they can be kept up to date on the all aspects of education landscape.
The most popular offerings are those that focus on the latest technologies that support the education process. Workshop attendees are encouraged to become collaborative in their approach to teaching, and alternative approaches on how technology can be aligned with curriculum and instructions are presented.

MOVING UP, COMPLETING, EARNING CERTIFICATION or a LICENSE, GRADUATING: These phrases are significant at BOCES, not just in June, but all year long.
Each year, an increased number of our elementary students are able to return to their home school district, equipped to succeed in both the academic and social environment.
Students who complete career education programs enter either the work force or post-secondary programs armed with hands-on experience that is second to none. An ever-growing number of special needs students in BOCES secondary programs are graduating with Regents diplomas, and plans to pursue post-secondary education.
To students who have benefited from the Family Resource Center to students who are mastering a new language to students who have earned professional certifications, BOCES is proud of their and our success.
