Vicki Reinhard— School Social Worker 

After 21 years of “being a full-time mom”, Mrs. Reinhard went back to graduate school and earned her Master’s degree in Social Work, from Rutgers University in 1999.  At the same time, Mrs. Reinhard also became a Licensed Social Worker as well as School Social Worker. Mrs. Reinhard has worked as both a Clinician and School Social Worker for the past 12 years. She received her Clinical License in 2007. She started working at Riverdale in November of 2006 as a maternity leave replacement and hasn't left!  In addition to working four days a week (Tuesday-Friday) in Riverdale, Mrs. Reinhard also practices privately. 

In her role of School Social Worker/Counselor, Mrs. Reinhard works toward helping students make satisfactory school and social adjustments and coordinates the efforts of the school, the family, and the community to help achieve this goal.   To assist in this effort, Mrs. Reinhard meets with students in informal social groups, “lunch bunches”, during the children’s lunch periods.  She also meets with students on an individual basis, with the permission of the parents/guardians, to work through issues that might affect the child’s school day.  Mrs. Reinhard loves her work and thanks you for allowing her to spend time with your children!
