Social Services

What is School Social Work?

A school social worker is a mental health professional providing services in the school setting. They help educate students on social emotional issues in the district. They help students’ families to connect with their community and their school. Services are provided in the classroom, in small groups and individually.

Our school social worker provides mental health and crisis services when appropriate and helps connect students to outside services when needed.

What is Social Emotional Learning

"Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.

SEL advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SEL can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities."
