My name is Michelle Ybarra and I have had the joy of being the Licensed School Social Worker at Carol Rae Ranch Elementary School since 2009! I received both my Bachelor's & Master's degree from Arizona State University. I also have my Arizona School Social Worker Certificate through the Arizona Dept. of Education. I enjoy spending time with family & friends, going to the beach, reading, hiking, going to the movies, eating out, and spending time outside in our beautiful Arizona weather!
As your School Social Worker, I am here as a resource for you and your family. I am able to assist in finding resources in the community or providing consultation for concerns about your child. I am here to assist with mental health concerns, behavioral concerns, positive behavioral support, academic & classroom support, consultation with teachers, parents, and administrators as well as provide individual check-ins.
My goal is to support your student so they can be successful at school and life. Students do best when families and school staff work together. I look forward to working in partnership with you to ensure that your child thrives here at Carol Rae Ranch Elementary School!
