Dear Poudre School District Staff, Parents, Students, and Community Members,
March is a month to celebrate our social workers as it is National Professional Social Work Month! Poudre School District has many social workers supporting our students! Their work is integral to our students’ success, engaging the students, families, staff and community to assure alignment of resources and interventions. On any given day, we can find our social workers conducting individual and group sessions, collaborating with staff and community members, supporting others in meetings, engaging in meetings to find good solutions for students, managing a crisis, celebrating successes, etc. Our social workers make a difference daily!
Find out more about school social work at https://www.socialworkers.org/Practice/School-Social-Work:
“School social workers are an integral link between school, home, and community in helping students achieve academic success. They work directly with school administrations as well as students and families, providing leadership in forming school discipline policies, mental health intervention, crisis management, and support services. As part of an interdisciplinary team to help students succeed, school social workers also facilitate community involvement in the schools while advocating for student success.”
Celebrate your school social worker today!
