“Distinctive Schools social workers are so important in our communities. Each day they bring hope, safety, and a sense of belonging for our students and their families. School social workers meet students in their toughest times and support them in connecting to their best selves; they provide students with the support to thrive in school and in their lives. We are so proud of who our clinicians are and the incredible work they do every day!” – Michele Lansing, LCSW, Network Director of Clinical Services for Distinctive Schools shared.

This week is National School Counseling Week! Thank you so much to our amazing counselor, Annette Ramos for going above and beyond to support our students. We appreciate you!
This month, we observe Black History Month, a time for celebration as well as commemoration. Black history is American history, and this month as well as year round, we deliberately celebrate and center Black joy, Black liberation and Black communities. During this month, we ask that you take the time to amplify Black voices and encourage you to visit and learn more about Black communities through Black-led organizations and creators.
Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at Bucktown. Our teachers take the time to get to know each and every one of their students and make them feel at home!
