School Social Work Supports
School Social Work Supports
When families are referred to our school social worker, Megan Krampitz, she works with them to understand their concerns and current needs. Students and families may be referred to a provider in the community, receive short-term counseling with Megan, be referred to a group being run through the school, and/or be connected to community resources.
Megan is here to help support Madison students and families. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
