Question 1

Answer 1
Lunch Bunch: Small groups of students come to my office during their respective lunch waves to eat and experience facilitated social time (about 2-3 groups per marking period.) Topics may include friendship, transitions, teambuilding, and social skills.
Question 2

Answer 2
Parents/guardians, school personnel, and the student (self-referral) can refer a student for social work services. After 3 meetings, ALL students must have written parent/guardian consent.
