Promoting student success
Every young person has the potential to succeed and to grow into a productive member of our society. For those who face circumstances that require a little extra – a lift up – we are there, in their school, responding quickly to get them what they need, when they need it. Sometimes it’s after-school tutoring, or healthcare or counseling, eyeglasses or clothing. Some kids need family help to stabilize the home. Others just need a shoulder to lean on.
It all depends on the child.
Freeing teachers to teach
A recent third-party survey confirms that teachers overwhelmingly attribute improved student attitudes, increased classroom engagement, improved attendance and behavior, and an overall greater commitment to learning as a result of Communities In Schools help.
