Many students find themselves needing extra help; in school and in life. Other times, students get overwhelmed and fall behind in classes or just simply need extra encouragement to set and meet goals.
Often problems outside of school find their way into the classroom. These issues can affect the whole family and they may need assistance to help their child.
Communities In Schools is there for these students and families who:
· Need extra help to get over a hump
· Need somewhere to go to feel connected
· Need a place to feel safe
· Need a listening ear
Communities In Schools is a private agency located on campus. We work to help students learn, stay in school, and prepare for a successful life. We work in cooperation with the school, who often refers students to us. All services are free, voluntary, and confidential.
