"Community Schools" Approach
WE ARE COMMITTED TO SERVING THE WHOLE CHILD.
A ”community schools” approach directs attention and resources to all of a student’s needs (see Maslow’s hierarchy of needs below). If a student’s physiological, sociocultural, or socioemotional needs go unmet, their learning is likely to suffer. To that end, we will expand support for students (and families) that allows them to flourish. This approach has been proven in many settings to be a powerful method for improving educational opportunity.
