LINDEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, NJ -- This week, Feb. 3-7, we proudly recognize the incredible school counselors, social workers, and student assistance counselors of Linden Public Schools who are dedicated to helping students thrive every single day!

According to Ryan M. Devaney, Supervisor of Student Services, โ€œThe Student Services Department of Linden Public Schools is comprised of school counselors, social workers, and student assistance counselors. During this week, we celebrate National School Counseling Week by acknowledging the continued contributions put forth by school counselors throughout our district. Each day, they provide a level of care and support to the school community through their dedication.โ€

From scheduling and testing to guidance counseling, mental health support, and post-secondary planning, our school counselors are the heart of student success. As the late Rita Pierson said:

--- โ€œEvery child deserves a champion โ€“ an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.โ€

And thatโ€™s exactly who our counselors areโ€”champions for our students! Letโ€™s take a moment to thank and celebrate these dedicated professionals who shape futures and change lives.
