Hello, my name is Renata Calderon and I am the Social Worker at Peacock Middle School. This will be my 4th year as the School Social Worker in Itasca School District 10. I graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a Bachelors in Psychology and a Master in Social Work, with a specialization in schools.

I live in Franklin Park with my husband, kids, and dog, Henry Hill. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, cooking, crafting, and going on new adventures.

I am passionate about teaching social/emotional skills to students and their families. I devote myself to helping students develop the appropriate skills to interact with others, work cooperatively in groups, and demonstrate responsible and respectful behavior. I'm fortunate to work in the Itasca community that supports all forms of education. 

I make it a priority to meet with parents, teachers, students, and administrators to develop those important lines of communication.
