It's National School Social Work Week, and we would like to express our gratitude to our District’s own amazing, dedicated, compassionate, and hard-working Social Worker Sarah McCall. School social workers’ impact on social/emotional and academic development cannot be overstated; they go beyond the classroom to investigate the root cause of a student's academic and behavioral challenges, assisting students with behavioral, emotional, and developmental challenges. They liaise with the school and parents to provide assistance and support to help the student achieve academic excellence and emotional wellbeing.
Sarah’s impact on our District is best represented in the praise and complements from her coworkers!
Sarah does a great job as a district representative to the K. E. Y. Collaborative. ~Dan White, Superintendent
Sarah, I am thankful every day for who you are and all that you do for our students and staff! Whether it's helping manage a mental health crisis, working to connect students and families with needed services, being a go-to for staff about student challenges, or helping keep us positive and laughing, you do far more than anyone could begin to imagine or realize. Thank you for being amazing!! ~Patrick Gallion, KHS Counselor

I have worked with "good" social workers but Mrs. McCall is a great one. I am continually impressed with her ability to forge relationships with not only our students of KLSD but also the families. Being a social worker is often a thankless job but I want to recognize Sarah for the amazing things that she does to assist our families and with us here at KHS. Thank you for all that you do Mrs. McCall!!! ~John Brown, KHS Assistant Principal
