This week's staff highlight recognizes our Attendance Teacher for Martin Road and Truman Elementary schools, Amanda Kulinski. Read Amanda's bio below!
"I am the Attendance Teacher for Martin Road and Truman Elementary schools. I have worked with children in schools for the past 12 years as a School Counselor and now in Attendance. If students aren't in school, they can't learn, and my overall goal is to make sure students are in school as much as possible. In my role, I work with students and families to identify the barriers that are in the way of coming to school like transportation, medical needs, mental health issues and homelessness and I work with our bus company, nurses, community services and counselors to come up with a plan for the student to regularly attend school. I enjoy building a relationship with students that need assistance so that they know I am here to help them succeed in school and that they have someone they can rely on."
