Migrant Services are designed to support students and families who experience frequent mobility due to work in agriculture or seasonal employment, ensuring that these students have equal access to educational opportunities despite the challenges of instability. The goal of Migrant Services is to provide a stable learning environment, address the unique academic and social needs of migrant students, and help them stay on track academically. Key components of Migrant Services include:

• Offering personalized academic interventions, tutoring, and enrichment programs to help migrant students keep up with their peers, particularly in areas like literacy, math, and language development.

• Assisting in the seamless transfer of academic records and facilitating the transition between schools, ensuring that students can continue their education without unnecessary delays or gaps in learning.

• Engaging migrant families by providing resources, outreach, and support services, often in the family's native language, to help them navigate the school system and access community resources.

• Providing access to summer school programs, after-school tutoring, and other extended learning opportunities to prevent learning loss during periods of mobility or school absence.

• Addressing the social and emotional challenges that come with frequent moves, such as isolation or difficulty adjusting to new environments, by offering counseling services and creating a supportive school climate.

• Offering language support through bilingual staff or language development programs to help migrant students gain English proficiency while ensuring they can participate fully in the academic and social aspects of school life.

• Partnering with local agencies, migrant organizations, and community groups to provide additional resources, such as healthcare, housing assistance, and food security, to support migrant families beyond the classroom.
