Welcome

Greetings, my name is Amy Nine, and I am a school social worker at Shawnee Mission South.  While I have been in the district since 2006, I feel fortunate to be joining such a fantastic community at South.

My goal is to support student academic success by removing any barriers that hinder their progress. I accomplish this through interventions that foster student success, crisis intervention, and helping students navigate difficult situations. Additionally, I strive to facilitate communication between parents and the school, connecting them to invaluable community resources.

Social workers work in diverse settings, and in a school setting, our goals are as follows:

• Utilize a strengths-based approach that enhances the quality of life for families and positively influences students' educational success.

• Assist and support families in achieving self-sufficiency and stability by setting and achieving their goals.

• Provide and connect families to comprehensive services available within the school, neighborhood, and community.

Feel free to visit my website for numerous community resources and follow me on X for upcoming opportunities and school news. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact me at 913-993-7536 or email me at amynine@smsd.org.

Sincerely,

Amy Nine, LMSW
