Hello, My name is Nicholette Ballard.  I am a school social worker and I have been working in Long Branch School District since 2007.   I began my career in Long Branch on the Preschool Child Study Team eventually working with all age ranges throughout the years.  This is my second year as a social worker at the Alternative Academy working with the 8th grade students.  I immensely enjoy working with my students and their families and look forward to another successful year.
