What's over there? In Potrero hill?! We have  Daniel Webster Elementary and Starr King Elementary! Two schools with strong supportive support teams! At Daniel Webster, we have Hector Castro ( Student Support Assistant) and Jill Salak (Clinical Intervention Specialist). At Starr King Elementary we have Jennifer Olguín (Student Support Assistant) and Abby Rose (Clinical Intervention Specialist). These two teams work together with school leadership and social workers to offer intentional care and support to students and families, ensuring equity for all.
“I think a foundation of empathy and compassion for colleagues is central to success in these types of roles. This work can be challenging, complicated, and confusing, and yet all around me I see teachers and support staff that show up for students as best they can, despite a multitude of challenges. Recognizing this and the contributions everyone makes, along with trying to build deeper connections with colleagues, makes collaboration easier when differences of opinion or other challenges arise. - Abby Rose, Clinical Intervention Specialist
I want to also highlight the efforts of both schools in building connections and community within their school communities. The Walking School Bus offered at Starr King Elementary, which provides families with support in getting their children to school in the morning, not only ensures safe passage but also fosters a sense of connection within the school. In October, Daniel Webster Elementary displayed an Ofrenda, a beautiful expression of love and remembrance for Dia de los Muertos. Additionally, creating interventions that align with a student’s interests, such as visual aids with cartoons of their favorite characters, helps students connect more deeply to their learning.
“What brings me joy is seeing my connection with students grow by showing up for them every day. It makes me happy to see them smile and laugh because they have such contagious joy. Even in difficult moments, I feel grateful in knowing that I am there to support them.” - Jennifer Olguín, Student Support Assistant ​
“Starr King is proud to share how diverse its student and staff populations are. In this, they host a great deal of cultural celebrations throughout the year in an attempt to educate students and families about others and uplift students from the multitude of communities represented here. Parents are often highly involved in the planning and execution of these events, which helps to promote their connections with the school.” - Abby Rose, Clinical Intervention Specialist
“Making connections with the students and collaboration with staff on how the students can be successful on a daily basis.”- Hector Castro, Student Support Assistant “ ​
