WellNess Center

 What happens in the Wellness Center?

The Wellness Center at Glen Park Elementary School is available to all students, and sometimes adults also use it. Students can take a sensory break from their classroom and spend 10 minutes in the Wellness Center. During this time, they can use various fidgets, games, art supplies, and books to relax.

Apart from student wellness breaks, the Wellness Center offers various programs such as Positive Behavior Intervention Supports, Restorative Practices, small group therapy, Mentor For Success Program, PAX support, and lunch bunch. The Wellness Center team comprises of our School Social worker, Mr. Jabril Rollins, the Community Resource Specialist, Mr. Michael Raciti, and the School District Nurse, Nurse Katy Ekegren.

 Introducing our WELLNESS CENTER TEAM 

Mr. Jabril Rollins

School Social Worker

Hello Glen Park! My name is Mr. Jabril, and I am the School Social Worker. This is my fourth year at Glen Park, and I am excited to work with the school with all of the students on campus!

I am excited to continue to work with this wonderful community and resume the programs we had last year, such as small therapy groups, individual counseling for students, and Wellness Wednesday!

I was born and raised in Los Angeles,  CA, so do not be alarmed if you see me rooting for the rival team. I bleed Dodger blue and live for the Purple & Gold! ;)

Mr. Michael Raciti

Community Relations Specialist

Michael is always prepared to help students restore the peace and repair the harm by utilizing Restorative Practices any time a conflict comes up. 

He is here to help support students with any social-emotional learning and to assist with cooperative playtime for all students. 

Michael has been at Glen Park for 11 years and has one daughter who is a junior at UC Santa Cruz.  

MRs. Katy Ekegren

School District Nurse

I'm Nurse Katy and I was happy to join the Glen Park community four years ago!

I share my time with Sanchez Elementary School, as well.

I have been a nurse since 1985 and have been with SFUSD since 1997 (yup, that's a long time!). I have both bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing, as well as Pediatric Nurse Practitioner licensure and am a Credentialed School Nurse.  Whew, that's a lot of school! 

I love working with the kids, families and staff.  

My job encompasses the full scope of health and wellness in the school setting which can include: complex first aid, linking to outside providers, case management and support to the various teams in our school.
