Welcome to Social Work
Role of the social worker at Pierce Downer
My role at Pierce Downer is to provide services to students to enhance their social, emotional well-being and improve their academic performance.
School social workers provide supports with a 3-tiered model through the classroom, small groups, and individual work with students. School support personnel determine the level of services appropriate for each student. The focus is centered on the the State of Illinois Social Emotional Learning standards.
If you are concerned about the social emotional or behavioral functioning of your child please contact me
