School Social Worker

Hi! I’m Brooke Hartson, the School Social Worker at Deep River Elementary. As a school social worker, I support the academic and emotional needs of students. I assist students and their families in overcoming barriers to education by connecting them to resources within the school and the community. I assist with student enrollment, provide McKinney Vento services to families that have been displaced from their permanent residence (Families in Transition), and address chronic absenteeism. I also help to improve the communication between families and the school by conferencing with families and making home visits.
