The Family Intervention Team consists of our Home School Visitor and Licensed School Social Worker. These positions work closely with students and their families in developing and maintaining positive interpersonal relationships between members of the school district and outside agencies. In addition, they provide connections to community resources in supporting a family's basic needs. Their work is focused on ensuring an optimal schooling opportunity while balancing the personal development of the student.

The FIT Team developed a form to better help SCASD families and address the family needs, Social Work Family Needs Assessment.

The team also created a COVID-19 Resource List and a Social Work Community Resource List that both provide a list of services in the area during this time.
