Welcome Back for the 2025-2026 School year! I am excited that you found us on the website but now that you are here, you may be asking what do school social workers do? A school social worker's main function is to provide an important link between school, home, and community in helping students achieve academic success. They work directly with school administrations as well as students and families, providing leadership in forming school discipline policies, mental health intervention, crisis management, and support services. As part of an interdisciplinary team to help students succeed, school social workers also facilitate community involvement in the schools while advocating for student success.
Some of the services we provide are: Hospital Homebound Services, Homelessness Services, Child Welfare and Safety Resources, Addressing Food Insecurity, Foster Care, and Attendance Resources, just to name a few.
We also have a great resource with the Connect with Dodge tab on our page. Through this link, any student, parent, or concerned adult can connect with the school system’s mental health team and receive help. This referral is completely confidential and will only be viewed by the Licensed Professional Counselor or the School Social Worker. Additionally, if ongoing services are needed, a professional will discuss further options with parents and guardians. We are excited to offer this service to our students and to their families!
If you or your student has a question about how to get involved at your child’s school or you need more information about the services we provide, you can always contact the counselor at your child’s school or Jodi Brewer at the Board of Education (478) 374-3783
School Counselors are an invaluable resource to our students, staff and their families! They design and deliver school counseling programs that improve student outcomes. They provide counseling, guidance, and resources to help students succeed in school and beyond, addressing issues like academic struggles, social and emotional challenges, and career planning.
Amy Barron, Dodge County Primary School Counselor
My name is Amy Barron, and I'm the Dodge County Primary School Counselor. I have been in education for 18 years. I received a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Georgia and a Master's Degree and Specialist Degree in School Counseling from Ft. Valley State University. I am married to Spencer Barron, and we have two children, Sarah, who is a Jr. at UGA and Jacob, who is a Sr. at DCHS. As a Professional School Counselor, I work with students, teachers, administrators, parents/guardians and stakeholders to provide services for students. When I first meet a student who isn't familiar with a School Counselor's role, I simply tell them I am a "helper". I encourage anyone to call 478-374-6691.
