WSHS School Social Worker
Hi!
My name is Lindsey Russell, I am the School Social Worker here at West Stanly High School. I am also assigned to West Stanly Middle School, and Locust Elementary. I received my Bachelor's in Social Work from UNC Charlotte in 2021, and previously worked as a CPS social worker in a neighboring county. This is my second year as a School Social Worker for SCS, and I have greatly enjoyed my time assisting students and families as WSHS!
My roles as as the School Social Worker include but are not limited to:
- Enforcing the NC Attendance Law
- Assisting with enrollment Issues
- Reviewing and providing clarification of custody orders
- CPS notification of suspected Abuse/Neglect/Dependancy
- Assistance with school supplies, food, clothing & shelter
- Drop-out prevention
- McKinney Vento-Homeless Act identification and assistance
- Serving as the link between our school, family and community.
- Support in school, parent and/or teacher meetings.
Students may be referred for problems and concerns that may affect their academic achievement and social-emotional well-being. Students, parents, guardians, staff members or any other person who may be familiar with the student may refer to the School Social Worker. I can be contacted via email, phone, or by leaving a message with the school's front office staff. My assigned days at WSHS are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
