Welcome
| Welcome to the School Social Work web page! I am excited to be a part of the Lake City School District! I hold a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California and am licensed with the Minnesota Board of Social Work and the Minnesota Department of Education. As the School Social Worker, I work with students, families, teachers, and staff to support successful students and healthy families. My role is to assist students in dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, peer relationships, family issues/struggles, classroom/school concerns, and any other problems or issues that may arise. I can provide individual counseling, referral services based on student needs, or just simply a safe place to talk. No issue or concern is too large or too small – I am here to help! Please reach out to me with your questions. I am available to work with students at Lincoln Jr./Sr. High and Bluff View Elementary, and also with parents and families. On the left side, you will find valuable information on various topics for students and parents as well as resource information. Feel free to contact me via email: kfuglestad@lake-city.k12.mn.us or by calling my direct office number: 651-345-7018. |

What is School Social Work?
| School Social Workers provide an important link between the school, home, and community in an effort to help students reach their full potential. Most School Social Workers provide direct services to students and their families including casework, group work, and classroom presentations as well as providing crisis intervention and consultation and making referrals to community agencies. School Social Workers are part of the assessment process for special education students as well as often providing direct and indirect services to those students. School Social Workers consult with teachers and administrators and frequently participate on teams within the schools and in the community. |
