Welcome to Dropout Prevention/School Social Work Services
Guilford County Schools employs school social workers to provide a link between homes, schools and communities. School social workers serve elementary, middle and high schools throughout the district to promote and support educational goals. They are uniquely qualified to provide a variety of direct and indirect services to assist students and families. As part of the educational team, school social workers promote and support students' academic and social success. School social workers are professionally trained and licensed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
GCS is fortunate to have a dropout prevention designee in all of the district's elementary, middle and high schools. Having site-based designees allows us to focus on building relationships with students while helping them overcome barriers to academic success. Our primary focus is on prevention, intervention and recovery. We are committed to accomplishing the district's goal of increasing the number of students that graduate in four years.
Services to the schools may include:
- Assessing student needs
- Assisting in the identification of students with special needs
- Coordinating services for families and students
- Helping students develop appropriate social skills and improved self-concept
- Helping to identify a student’s strengths
- Identifying and resolving barriers to education
