Meet your school social worker!!!
Hello, my name is Serena Salitros, and this will be my fifth year serving as the social worker at Lynn Road Elementary School. I am excited to kick off the new school year and grateful for the opportunity to continue in this role. It is an honor to be part of the Lion family.
I am originally from Houston, Texas. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from North Carolina Central University and went on to obtain my Master’s degree in Social Work. I chose to become an elementary school social worker for two main reasons: I love advocating for and helping people, and I love working with children.
As we enter this new school year, I look forward to continuing to build positive, trusting relationships with our little Lions and their families. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for assistance—my door is always open!
School Social Workers are trained and licensed professionals that provide a link between the home, school and community through support services that positively impact the development of the whole child. School Social Workers engage the school, family, teachers and/or community in a problem-solving process to promote positive change and eliminate barriers to learning.
School Social Workers receive referrals from the community, parents, school staff and students when students display poor attendance, failing grades, effects of family crisis and/or emotional and behavioral concerns.
School Social Workers can support parents by helping parents understand their child’s developmental and educational needs; providing access to school and community resources; obtaining mental health services; and providing services for homeless families and students placed in foster care.
School Social Workers are in all elementary and middle schools, alternative settings and some high schools.
