What is a School Social Worker and what do we do?
Both Ms. Murray and Ms. Kadash work collaboratively with teachers, staff, and parents at Joyce Kilmer School and Parkview School to address the academic, social, and emotional needs of ALL students. Our goal is to help empower students with knowledge, positive interpersonal skills, and coping strategies for issues that students may face.
What does Ms. Murray and Ms. Kadash do?
Ms. Murray and Ms. Kadash provides individual and group counseling to students in need and those students who have it indicated in their 504 plan. They are available to students if they need someone to talk to, become overwhelmed, or need help resolving conflicts in school. They teach classroom lessons on social emotional skills in grades preschool through 5th grade using mainly the L.E.A.D. program, which can be found at https://www.leadrugs.org/ Milltown Police Officer, Erik Haefner, co-teaches with Mrs. Murray 10 lessons to fifth graders on substance abuse prevention using the L.E.A.D. program.
