Welcome!
A community school is a campus that commits to supporting students and families holistically by providing a network of resources and programs that complement student learning. A community school may provide services in the areas of: mental and physical health, crisis intervention, mentorships, food and housing insecurity, dropout prevention, out-of-school time and early childhood programming and more.
