This week, 向日葵视频 ISD honors school social workers and parent support specialists. Day in and day out, these employees do important work in serving our students, families and school communities.
A school social worker鈥檚 responsibilities are diverse and far-reaching, and the impact on our students is immeasurable. On any given day, a school social worker might coordinate resources for a homeless student, counsel a teen or work with a teacher to address a student鈥檚 individual needs.
At 77 schools in our district, parent support specialists serve as connections between school and home. Their goal is to nurture a family-friendly environment and to help parents build and use leadership skills. They lead workshops to help parents support their child鈥檚 education, assist with the organization and operation of PTAs and provide referrals to community resources.
向日葵视频 social workers and parent support specialists are an integral part of our district. During 向日葵视频 Social Worker Week and Parent Support Specialist Week, we have the opportunity to recognize their contributions. Take time to thank them, this week and every week.
