I would be looking to get an additional masters in education administration. Im wondering if any social workers or even school social workers made the shift over to being an school administrator? If you haven’t what issues do you see in making that transition from school socal worker to principal? Any assets you think a social worker may bring to that role? Or any that may need some work. Im not really burnt out being a social worker per se, but i am starting to feel fatigue. Crisis intervention does not bother me or communicating to families. I think i am most passionate about being a voice for people that need help and making sure they have access to it. I really like being in school systems and working with kids. I just feels like sometimes i should be doing more or trying to impact them differently. Im tired of the direct case management component. I really dont want to do case management anymore. I also have no interest being school based therapist. I currently work as a school social worker. I do want a change im just looking into what that may be. I have been a social worker almost a decade , a school social worker for almost 5 years. Worked in shelters , child protective agencies, aba therapy , and as a behavioral consultant. I also considered a special education director, so i would accept advice on that as well.

My kiddos preschool doesn’t allow any outside snacks or food to be brought in the school. Even if it is confirmed nut free made products they are pre packaged. So for birthdays instead they said we can bring in party favors (non food) to give out to celebrate your student birthday. Im like why does feel weird? Why would i send my kid to school to give out gifts to other kids on his birthday. Im not knocking them not allowing food, but im trying to see if im just overthinking it and denying him a preschool right of passage.

Edit: To be clear im not mad at the rule of no food. That is logical. Im just wondering would he feel left out being on the kid to not bring favors to class for his birthday. I just wanted opinions. Not a detailed synopsis on kids dangers with allergens. That is not what i asked.My apologies i have never done this before, my parents really weren’t that involved in schooling or birthdays for that much so this is new to me.
