Family Liaison

What is a Family Liaison?

A Family Liaison is a staff member who works to bridge the communication between school and home by helping parents get the information, help, and support they need to ensure their child’s academic and social success at school. We strive to make sure that each and every student has the necessary resources to help them achieve their best.  In this ever-changing economic climate, sometimes we find ourselves in need of outside resources and assistance. The Family Liaison is here to help share the many available resources that our community provides. 

How Can a Family Liaison Help?

Family Liaisons can provide assistance with the following:

  • Free or reduced meals, along with weekend meal bags and daily snacks

  • School supplies

  • Clothing needs including winter coats, hats and gloves

  • Programs for English Learners (EL)

Casey Hansen

Family Liaison

Hello!

My name is Casey Hansen and I am the Family Liaison at Algonkian Elementary.  I have 3 children; two that attend Algonkian Elementary and one that attends River Bend Middle School, and my husband and I have lived in Cascades for the past 16 years. I am very excited to be working at such a great school and I am very excited to help the great families in our community. 

As the Family Liaison, I want to help all students and families participate in the school events without any financial burden.  I also want to make sure that each student is being given plenty of nourishing food, proper clothing and adequate school supplies so they can be the best student they can be! Algonkian Elementary, as well as Loudoun County, have a wealth of resources that can benefit families from food, academics, housing, employment and much more.  Nothing would make me happier than being able to share these resources with you if you ever find yourself in need.

I am here to help, so please never hesitate to reach out to me.  I typically work Thursday and Friday mornings, however my schedule may change based on the county school schedule. You can reach me via email (casey.hansen@lcps.org) and phone (571) 434-3240. I look forward to working with you!
