National School Social Work Week 2024, taking place during the first full week of March, shines a light on the indispensable role school social workers play in the educational landscape of the U.S. This year, under the theme “Pearls of Wisdom,” we celebrate the profound insights and guidance these professionals bring to their schools. The week serves as an essential reminder of the critical work school social workers do in removing educational barriers and enhancing students’ academic and emotional success. It’s a time to acknowledge and appreciate the dedicated efforts of school social workers, as they weave their “Pearls of Wisdom” into the fabric of student support, guiding them towards a brighter future. Celebrated annually, this week underscores their commitment to high standards and a focus on student-centered outcomes.
