Welcome to Mrs. De Jesus' Website

Why School Social Workers? School social workers are licensed as well as certified pupil personal providers with diverse skills. School Social Workers bring knowledge and skills to schools to assist in furthering their purpose to provide a safe, calm, setting for teaching and learning. Mrs. De Jesus works with students in grades 6, 7, and 8 on developing skills to help them cope with concerns that they may face. She works with students in small group counseling meetings and/or individual counseling sessions (one time or a few times). Meetings and lessons with Mrs. De Jesus can enhance self-esteem, interpersonal skills, and give students the opportunity to learn and practice positive behaviors. Working with Mrs. De Jesus helps students learn more about feelings, making good and safe choices, and about getting along with others. Students can request to see Mrs. De Jesus or school staff and parents can also ask that Mrs. De Jesus see a student who may need someone to talk with. She is also available to consult and talk with school staff and parents about various topics, and to provide resources and/or referrals. Please contact Mrs. De Jesus at the school if you feel she may be able to help.
