Bemidji School Social Work Contacts

School Social Workers are the link between home, school, and community. As members of the educational team, School Social Workers promote and support students’ academic and social success by providing specialized services.

We developed our own Virtual Calming Room in the Spring of 2020 that has resources for all ages.  Please check it out here-  Virtual Calming Room
