School Social Worker

 

Reiff

 

Conestoga Valley School District’s Social Work Department consists of three social workers. Carla DiClemente covers grades 9-12 and assists our Spanish-speaking population (K-12). Jena Mable covers grades 6-8 at Gerald G. Huesken Middle School. I am Katie Reiff and I am the Elementary School Social Worker/Home School Visitor.  Although my office is located at Smoketown Elementary, I serve all four elementary schools: Brownstown, Fritz, Leola, and Smoketown. 

As school social workers, we connect students and families to resources in our community to help meet your needs. We can provide assistance with housing resources, food and clothing bank referrals, applying for state assistance, work with the homeless population, along with any other needs that might be a barrier to your child’s education.
