Hello Nelson Families,
My name is Jennifer Bonk and I am one of the school social workers at Nelson Elementary School and have been at Nelson since 2024. I look forward to working with your child this year and supporting your child as they learn, grow, and achieve their goals.
A little background on me is that I am a Licensed Social Worker and I received my Masters from Northeastern Illinois University and my Professional Educator's License from The University of Chicago. I have a specific focus in children and families as well as in school social work. I also run social groups through a private practice for children, teenagers, and young adults. I have experience working with children from preschool through age 22 in a school setting with many different abilities.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email at jbonk@emsd63.org.
