"Our assigned school social worker does an excellent job for our school and is willing to serve every kid when called upon. She takes initiative and communicates shareable information regarding students under her care in a timely, professional manner. We would like to have her on campus everyday." - A P-BVUSD Principal

"Our SSW is an invaluable asset to our campus. He collaborates exceptionally well with our team and consistently brings thoughtful, innovative ideas to the table. He leads with heart and regularly goes above and beyond his assigned responsibilities to meet the needs of both staff and students." - A P-BVUSD Principal

It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve the School Social Work team at Panama-Buena Vista Union School District ❤️

Working with this talented and dedicated group of professionals has been a genuine highlight of my career. In a field that requires so much of ourselves, this team consistently leads with heart and remains relentlessly human-centered. To my SSW team: thank you for all you do to help our students navigate their challenges and reach their full potential.

"I am very grateful that we have a Social Worker and wish we were able to have her on campus daily. She is a tremendous asset, serving our community, staff, and students with grace, and she consistently goes above and beyond to support others in any situation." - A P-BVUSD Principal

"I am so thankful for our SSW! This year we have seen a lot more foster / McKinney-Vento / struggling families at our school and she is heaven sent when it comes to getting them all resources they need. She is communicative, supportive, and always willing to help (even when it is not our day with her). I could sing her praises all day!" - A P-BVUSD Assistant Principal
