• Welcome back, Ashland Bears, to a new school year!

    Greeting Families

    I'm Ms. Velma Harris Walker, your School Social Worker at Ashland. This year, I aim to ensure that every student's needs are being met and that they are doing well in their learning environment. I also want to ensure that every student attends school regularly, stays focused, and learns to the best of their ability. Regular school attendance is crucial for academic success, from pre-k through high school. Regardless of a student's age, families have a vital role in ensuring their children attend school every day, as it is essential for a successful school year.

    We understand that absences happen, but frequent absences can cause students to fall behind. Please make sure your child attends school every day and arrives on time. I will work with transportation to ensure students get to school on time and safely. I am here to assist families with any needs, so feel free to contact me.

     

    My office number is 314-385-4767 (school) and (cell) 314-400-8501 or email at Velma.walker@slps.org.  I am available Monday – Friday, 8 am.– 6 pm. As a rule, I will respond to inquiries within 24 - 48 hours. I look forward to meeting every one of you.
