This week we celebrate National School Social Worker Week! School social workers are professionals within the social work field that support staff, students and parents/guardians. School social workers help students cope with challenges, provide academic and classroom support, and serve as a connection for families in accessing state and local resources and support. We cannot thank our WUSD social workers enough for their dedication and services to our students, staff, families and community!
