• A realistic banner for social workers without using images of people. The design includes symbols of care and support, like helping hands and hearts, and elements that convey community and social work. The text 'Social Worker' is prominently displayed in a modern, readable font. The background is soft and inviting, with a focus on symbols of support and community involvement.

     

    Dear Parents and Guardians:

     

    It is my privilege to work with you and your children. As the district’s school social worker, my primary responsibility is to be a member of the Child Study Team. The Child Study Team is a multidisciplinary team that determines eligibility for special education and related services. I assist my co-workers by conducting social history evaluations. The social history evaluation is an assessment of the developmental and psychosocial factors that may impact a child’s adjustment to and performance in school. I also serve as a Child Study Team case manager for students receiving special education services. As your child’s case manager, I am responsible for developing Individual Education Plans (IEPs), facilitating communication between home and school, and coordinating annual reviews and triennial evaluations. I also provide school-based counseling as well as assist families in obtaining access to appropriate community services.

     I look forward to providing support and assistance to the residences of East Rutherford.

    I can be reached at 201-804-3114 or by e-mail at rromaglia@erboe.net
