Greetings Gator Family!
I'm Sarah Caldwell, your School Social Worker here at Whitewater Middle! I am beginning my 4th school year here and looking forward to working with our wonderful students! As your School Social Worker, I am here to help support the students and families with their social/emotional, physical, academic, financial and any other needs.
I encourage all our families to ensure that students get adequate rest on school nights to ensure they are attending school everyday and on time. Attendance is vital for all the students at WMS to have academic success. We are encouraging all parents and guardians to have your student at school by 9:00am at the latest to ensure students are present for the entire day of learning.
Please contact me via email or phone if I can be of any assistance. I look forward to working with you and your family this school year!
