The Office of Social Work

The Office of Social Work is responsible for the mental health counseling services of district students. Social workers serve as the link between students’ families and the school, working with parents, guardians, teachers, and other school officials to ensure students reach their academic and personal potential. Through their knowledge of classroom management, the at-risk population, special education and the effects of disabilities on student performance, social workers are critical members of teams working together on behalf of students unable to fully benefit from their educational experiences. Social Workers help to strengthen the social and emotional well-being of all students in order to enhance the academic, behaviors of students.
