In Wyckoff, the guidance counselor serves in the dual capacity of guidance counselor/school social worker. The counselor implements the services at Lincoln School by working with individual students, teaching lessons in the classroom, and working with small groups of children. The Wyckoff School District has recently updated its comprehensive program that is delivered to all pupils K-8. The progam's goal is to promote the optimal growth of every child at each stage of his/her development, to help each student develop the self-confidence and skills necessary to fully participate in his/her education, and to foster maturation into caring human beings.

The school social worker is a member of the district Child Study Team and serves as Case Manager for all of the classified students at Lincoln School. In addition, the job includes serving on the Intervention and Referral Services Committee.

I am also available to teachers and parents in discussing any event or circumstance that might affect a child's social, emotional, or academic life. If you have any questions, or if there is any way that I can be of help to you, please do hesitate to call or email me.

My contact information is: phone (201) 848-5720, extension 207.
