School social workers work with students, parents, and teachers to nurture school success. One of the most important goals is to help reduce, and ideally eliminate, problems and obstacles that interfere with a student's learning. When a student is referred to me I look into their unique situation and identify the biggest needs and supports that the student has. The student and I work together to impact those needs while utilizing supports within the student's home, school, and community. The entire Bartlett staff are here to assist in teaching students more effective skills, encouraging them in healthy directions and habits, and coaching them forward through personal and academic challenges.
