About Us

Puget Sound Educational Service District (PSESD) Dropout Prevention & Re-Engagement provides skill development and case management for youth at risk of dropping out or involved in the Juvenile Justice System. 

Through our programs, we work to: 

  • Re-engage youth and families in academic and community success plans that lead to high school completion and postsecondary opportunities. 
  • Enhance academic achievement by fostering collaboration among schools, families, and community partners. 
  • Build students’ social and academic skills to support long-term success and stability.
