Meet Jenny Chonis, Lincoln's new Social Worker!

 

Hello, my name is Jenny Chonis and I am the new, full-time School Social Worker at Lincoln K-8 School.  School social workers are often described as the link between home, school, and the community.  School social workers are licensed by the MN Board of Social Work and the MN Department of Education.  I am here to support students’ social, emotional, and behavioral needs.  Some examples of my duties are:

      Helping identify students for special education services

      Offering support to students via individual counseling, facilitating support groups, or at times whole classroom instruction

      Providing families information about community resources

If you are interested in school social work services for your child please feel to contact me.   I am truly excited and grateful to be working with the awesome students and staff at Lincoln!
