I have worked in this district for 23 years. I provide support to any student who expresses a need or requests help. Common areas of support include: conflict resolution, problem solving, peer interaction skills, organizational skills, emotional functioning, and crisis intervention. I teach lessons in the fall to all 4th and 5th grade classes with regards to bullying prevention and personal safety. Feel free to contact me at (708) 339-8500 ext. 23
