Join us in celebrating National School Social Worker Appreciation Week! Our school social workers, Ms. Kendall McFarland and Ms. Sally Rahnama, are invaluable members of our educational team, providing essential support and resources to students and families. They address a wide range of needs, from academic and social-emotional challenges to mental health concerns and family crises. They are advocates, counselors, and liaisons, working tirelessly to ensure every student can succeed. Let's take this week to recognize the dedication and the positive impact that Ms. McFarland and Ms. Rahnama have on our school community. A special thank you to our amazing School Social Workers!

  • Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) given at age 10 or older.
