Youth Care Worker Services

Hello parents and caregivers! My name is Natasha Ewaskow and this is my first year at Highlands Elementary. My role includes behavioural, emotional, physical and social support to our families. I basically tell kids that I am the “SCHOOL MOM” as that helps them to know why I am here and how I can help them. I specifically support kids by:

 

  • Teaching life and social skills through small groups or in the classroom
  • Providing access to basic need items (clothing, hygiene supplies, school supplies etc.)
  • Facilitating our Breakfast Club and Lunch programs
  • Support with academics and organization skills

 

I am also here to partner with and support you as a family! I can help with:

  • Referrals to community supports and services
  • Communication between parents and the school
  • Emergency Food Hampers or meals
  • Parenting support and information 


LUNCH SUPPORT

Once again the Salvation Army will be helping us provide a nutritional lunch to children in order to help support families. If you would like help providing a daily lunch for your child(ren) please let me know!

 

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

McWhirter Office Solutions has generously donated school supplies to our school. If your child is in need of any supplies please let me know.
