Thank you for coming to the homepage of the Mead Elementary Social Workers. Perhaps you have already met one of us. We work with the school staff, parents and students to help all children succeed. We provide support, education and referrals for social, emotional and behavior issues. Please feel free to call on the social worker at your school to talk about any concerns you have.

Go to our Community Resources Information link for information about local agencies, groups and other service providers. This list includes resources for basic needs, emergency services, health care and other services for families and children. The social worker in your school can also assist you with these services.

SCHOOL SOCIAL WORK is a specialized area of practice within the broad field of the social work profession. School social workers bring unique knowledge and skills to the school system and the student services team. School Social Workers are instrumental in furthering the purpose of the schools: To provide a setting for teaching, learning, and for the attainment of competence and confidence. School social workers are hired by school districts to enhance the district's ability to meet its academic mission, especially where home, school and community collaboration is the key to achieving that mission.
