What is a Community School?
The Community Schools Strategy works in partnership with a variety of stakeholders to remove barriers from students, families and communities in order to thrive. Ways a community school does this is by providing an array of wraparound services.
What does a Community Schools Coordinator do?
Community School Coordinators partner with students, families, and stakeholders to identify and fill in the gaps where our students need more resources and support in order to ensure their personal and academic success. A CSC provides comprehensive support and resources that are selected to meet their students’ and families’ needs and interests, which are rooted in the understanding and perspectives of the surrounding community. A Community School Coordinator is a resource for families helping them stay connected with the school community. They are advocates for students and families.
What do Community Schools provide?
Through strategic partnerships, community schools work to provide access to high-quality academics, health services, mental health support, academic enrichment, out-of-school time programming, crisis support, adult education classes, leadership development, and more.
Community School Update
Once survey's were completed, all the data collection was reviewed with the Community Schools Steering committee. The Steering Committee involves the Community Schools Coordinator, Principal, Teachers, School Counselors, PTA members and Stakeholders.
As a team, the Steering Committee identified the schools greatest needs based on the data collection. Below are the three areas of need determined. Moving forward GES will implement a plan to meet the need and close the gaps to improve success for all students and families.
