Hi there students, family and community partners.  My name is Deidre Townsend, School Social Worker here at Bristol Elementary School.  I have been in social work for over twenty years; primarily working in schools.  My role here at Bristol is to connect home, school and community.  I also serve as the SSD liaison for families involved in the SSD process.  I also provide crisis intervention for students who may be experiencing dysregulation during the school day.  My door is always open so feel free to stop by.  I look forward to meeting you.

When I'm not here at Bristol, I am busy being wife to Nigel and mom to Mya, Ryleigh and Malcolm.  I enjoy reading, collecting Dooney & Bourke purses, and spending time with family and friends.
