School Social Worker

Vianna Recendez, LCSW, PPSC

Hello and welcome to the School Social Work page for William Anderson Elementary!

My name is Vianna Recendez, and I serve as the School Social Worker here at Anderson. I’ve been in the field since 2019 and bring a diverse background in community mental health, juvenile justice settings, restorative diversion programs, and school social work across high school, middle school, and elementary levels.

My role is to support the social-emotional well-being of all students, while also working closely with families and staff to create a safe and supportive learning environment. If you have any questions about how we can support you, your child, or about the programs and services we offer—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help!
