This school year marks my 27th year at Palombi Middle School and my fifth year serving as the Dean of Student Services. Prior to this role, I had the privilege of serving as the school social worker for many years. In addition to being a long-time staff member, I am also a proud District 41 parent, as each of my three children attended and graduated from Palombi. My dual perspective as both an staff member and a parent has deeply connected me to this school and community.

I am dedicated to supporting the success and well-being of all students, and I value the strong partnerships we build with families and staff. In my role as Dean of Student Services, I focus on providing academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support to students. I also work closely with our special education department and serve as the 504 Plan case manager for Palombi.

Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions or concerns. I am here to support you and your student throughout the school year, and I look forward to working together to ensure a positive and productive experience for all.

Warmly,
Julie Pozezinski (“Poe”)
