What are we?

Family Resource Centers are designed to help remove barriers to student learning. Each Center assists students and families through programs, referrals to outside agencies and by partnering with groups within and outside of the school. Programs and services are determined by the needs of the population served, available resources, location and other local characteristics. The Centers work with families to improve students' attendance, to decrease problems with behavior or suspensions, to offer academic support, to dal with mental/physical health issues and to offer parent support and assistance. All students and families are served regardless of income.
