Social Work

McDuffie County School Social Workers serve as the link between the student, family, school and community to remove barriers that prevent children from having a successful education experience.

School Social Workers work very closely with all schools and community agencies in encouraging daily attendance at school for all students. They are members of the Attendance Support Team which is responsible for implementing and mentoring the county attendance policy to reduce absences, tardy days and early checkouts. The Attendance Support Team reviews all cases of students with eight or more absences.
