Welcome to the School Social Worker page. My name is Raina Roper. I am the full time School Social Worker at Western Middle. I enjoy working with the students, families, and school staff here at Western Middle.
In my role as school social worker, I serve as the link between the home, school, and the community by providing support services to students, school staff, and families.
School Social Workers get involved when students display:
Poor attendance
Failing grades
Effects of family crisis
Emotional and behavioral concerns such as fighting, negative attitude toward school, refusal to cooperate with adults, depression or substance abuse
Unmet basic needs
School Social Workers help these students through early identification, prevention, intervention, counseling and support.
School Social Workers employ the following methods in providing assistance:
Assessment
Crisis Intervention
Home Visits
Conflict Resolution
Individual & Group Counseling
Consultation
Program Development
Coordination of School & Community Services
On this page I will keep you informed of school and community resources that may be helpful to you and/or child. I look forward to working with you and or your child to have a successful school year.
