About Us

The West Virginia Department of Education Office of Student Support and Well-being (OSSW) brings several initiatives and programs under one umbrella to coordinate services for the whole child and ensures each student has at least one caring adult that keeps them connected to the school system. The OSSW’s collaborative infrastructure harnesses resources, best practices, momentum and expertise to prepare the whole child for post-secondary options whether that be education, employment or enlistment.
