Helping students feel supported, connected, and ready to learn.
At John F. Kennedy Catholic School, we believe that students do their best when they know they are supported and cared for. Our Student Support Specialist works alongside students, families, teachers, and school staff to support the academic, social, emotional, and personal needs of our students.
Whether a student needs help working through a conflict, learning strategies for managing emotions, navigating a difficult situation, or connecting with additional resources, our goal is to help each student feel known, valued, and equipped for success.
A place to feel supported
Students can come to my office for help, support, problem-solving, or simply a safe space to talk. Whether you need to calm your mind, work through a challenge, or build new skills, I’m here to listen, encourage, and help you find the tools you need to thrive—both in and out of the classroom.

Meet Mrs. Wolf
Your child’s school experience involves more than academics.
Mrs. Wolf is a graduate of St. Ambrose University and a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW). She holds a B-21 School Social Work endorsement. She is also a Field Instructor for the St. Ambrose University School of Social Work.
As the Student Support Specialist at John F. Kennedy Catholic School, Mrs. Wolf works with students, families, teachers, and school teams in a variety of ways. Her role includes serving as the 504 Plan Case Manager, providing social-emotional learning lessons, facilitating student mediation and confl ict resolution, supporting individual students and small groups, participating on IEP teams, and helping identify students who may benefit from additional support.
Mrs. Wolf believes that sometimes students don’t need someone to fix a problem for them—they need a safe person to listen, help them slow down, think through their options, and find their next step.
Outside of work, she enjoys cooking, reading, drawing, and spending time with her family.
