Whitney Coats, LMSW
Social Worker
Compass Elementary
Hello Compass Pirates! I am so happy to be here! This is my first year with Platte County. I have been working in child welfare for 11 years, but have always had an end goal of working for the Platte County School District. I received my B.S. from Northwest Missouri State University and my MSW from University of Missouri - Kansas City. I am state registered and licensed as well.
My main role is to keep our families and school well connected. To be a liaison, advocate, and support for our students and their families while also understanding educational procedures. My days at Compass can consist of home visits, crisis prevention/intervention, attendance tracking, classroom support, and working with small groups of students, as well as individually with students to build and continually improve social/emotional skills. I am also the community resource contact for our facility. I am happy to assist with any needs you may have.
Please feel free to reach me by email or leave me a voicemail.
