School Social Work Week (March 2-8) is an opportunity to acknowledge the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to support Chesterfield County students and schools. Please make time to express your gratitude to members of our school social work team for their unwavering commitment to the well-being and academic success of all students.

These professionals support 67 schools and over 64,000 students.

Their commitment to addressing challenges — from academic barriers to personal hardships — ensures that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
