Hi OLMC students, families and staff,
Ms. Jaime Kagan-Heit
I want to take a minute to introduce myself for those who don’t know who I am. My name is Jamie Kagan-Heit and I am a social worker at OLMC through Region V for special services. I have had the honor of working with OLMC for the last six years. During my time I have gotten to know many of the amazing students and families and feel honored to be part of such a wonderful learning and growing school community and parish.
I would like to take this opportunity to reach out and share some resources and supports that can help you and your child through these trying times. The events of the past few weeks and the change in everyone’s daily life has obviously impacted each and everyone of us.
I hope to be a resource during this time. Please feel free to reach out via email and we can decide the best way to address you or your child’s needs. I will be able to use email, phone, and video calls as a mean of interacting to provide support and assistance.
You can reach me at my email: socialworker@nullacademyolmc.org
