Child & Family Wellness

At Sauk Rapids-Rice Public Schools, we are deeply committed to supporting our students and families in fostering healthy environments and a culture that prioritizes health and well-being. Our goal is to create opportunities for every student to reach their highest educational potential.

To help navigate life's challenges, our dedicated school social workers have compiled a variety of resources for students and families. We encourage you to reach out to our team or school and program staff with any questions, concerns, or requests for additional support.

What We Do

We are a team of dedicated helping professionals who meet state requirements to practice in a variety of roles within our district’s school settings. Our team of licensed school social workers is here to ensure students have the support they need to succeed both academically and socially. We work to address potential barriers to learning that may arise in the classroom, at home, or in the community. By understanding students' social and emotional perspectives, we aim to build a strong connection between school, home, and the community.

We provide a range of services designed to promote student success and family wellness, including:

• Coordinating and facilitating meetings focused on mental wellness, social, and emotional coping skills
• Referring students to in-school or community-based therapy programs
• Assisting families in accessing support for basic needs
• Identifying and addressing barriers to regular school attendance
