    Hi!  I am Melissa Madsen, the FIT (Families in Transition) coordinator and Social Worker at Willard Alternative High School.  Before moving into this position, I spent five years at Willard as the Flagship Coordinator, in my previous position I learned the value of the Willard way and what it means to be part of the larger Willard Crow Family. I will continue to build on the relationships I have built over the past few years and I look forward to continuing the legacy of the Willard way family atmosphere and the numerous students it has supported as high school graduates.

    The Families in Transition program is a district wide program that seeks to assist families, in the school and district staff to pinpoint essential needs that can provide students a positive learning experience.  Our goal is to empower students to stay in school and to remain lifelong learners.

    The FIT coordinator provides resources and assistance with the following:

    ·         School and academic support

    ·         Housing information and assistance

    ·         Employment referrals, applications support and resume development.

    ·         Clothing, food and toiletries

    ·         Health and wellness referrals

    ·         Referrals to community support programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, Healthy Kids MT

    ·         Crisis and personal support

    ·         School supplies and school resources
