My name is Sophi Guilfoose and I am the School Psychologist at Prairie View Elementary.  I worked for Madison Metropolitan School District for 12 years and for Federal Way Public Schools in Washington State for 2 years.  I am very excited to work in the school where my children attend and to serve the children and families in the community where I live.  Activities that I enjoy outside of work include jogging, yoga, reading, listening to world music, camping, and traveling. A fun fact about me is that I traveled in India and Nepal for 5 months!

I am the Social Worker for students in Kindergarten - Grade 6. I have bee a practicing social work since 1990 and have been in the Oregon School District since 2014. My role is to consider barriers to a student's success in school and foster a strong connection between school, home and community services. I am also a member of the Wisconsin Social Workers Association.

I am the district’s Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Coach for PreK-6th grade. Before entering this role, I served as a special education teacher for over 20 years in diversified settings. The focus of the SEL Coach is increasing the internal capacity of OSD educators to meet the academic and social/emotional needs of our learners through: partnering with OSD educators in creating personalized, responsive classroom and school environments, as well as facilitating multiple types of professional learning opportunities in alignment with our instructional vision, data-determined needs, and OSD values.
