Meet our Counselors and Social Worker
Greetings from your Southworth Elementary Counseling Team!
We are delighted to share with our Southworth community that we have two school counselors to support our students this school year! Please welcome MaKenzie Maxwell! She will be mainly supporting our Kindergarten, 3rd and 4th grade students currently on Tuesdays-Thursdays and Mr. Harrison will continue to be at Southworth everyday mainly supporting 1st, 2nd, and 5th. Despite these grade level designations, know that both counselors will work together to support all students.
We are also delighted to welcome back our Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC), Carline Dally who will be at Southworth again three days per week to support our wonderful military students and their families. If you are a military family interested in receiving this valuable support as a part of the social emotional support staff at Southworth, please contact your child's teacher or counselor to request program information to sign up for the MFLC program.
Also, we welcome back Branwyn Pierpoint, our Social Worker. She is working in all our elementary schools, but is always available to support our students when in need. You may receive phones or emails from her throughout the year.

Healthroom Needs
If your student gets sick at school, we try to have clean clothes for them to barrow/change into for the ride home. (We always appreciate borrowed clothes being returned.)
If you have cloths (shirts, pants, shorts) that your student has outgrown, is in good condition and would like to donate, our healthroom is looking for donations. We also can use new size 5-8 underwear for boys and girls. Thank you!
Attendance
If your students is going to be absent or if you have a bus/pick up change, please be sure to email our attendance at sw_attendance@ycs.wednet.edu. These emails are checked often throughout the day. All bus/pickup notices must be emailed by 2:00 p.m. so we can communicate that change.
