Ms. Paris and her dog, Rocky!
Greetings and welcome back to the 2025-2026 school year! I am the school social worker at Glen Arden Elementary and Cane Creek Middle School. 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 via call or text on my district cell phone (828) 777-1426 or send me an email at megan.paris@bcsemail.org. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything!
