School Social Worker
Ms. Paris and her dog, Rocky!
Welcome! I am the school social worker at Glen Arden. As a school social worker, I help connect our students and families to community resources and supports. I work with students, families, administrators, counselors, and community stakeholders to help eliminate educational barriers that might be impacting success. I work with students who might need extra support around attendance, behavior interventions, mental health needs, or alternative educational opportunities.
You may get in touch with me at Glen Arden on alternating Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Or by calling/texting my district cell phone at 828.768.3275.
