Searles Elementary Piloting Community School Framework
Searles Elementary School is piloting the Community School Framework this school year in New Haven. The goal of a Community School is to build a collaborative team of school staff, district staff, partners, community members, families and students to create a strong network of support to further promote the development of our youth and community. By combining our efforts, all students will not only be ready for college and career, but they will be our future leaders. The school has gained much success in acquiring resources and support for their families and is in the process of conducting a Needs Assessment to further evaluate how to further support student and family success. Along with family and student surveys, Searles is also holding Community Forums.
Upcoming forums are on:
September 11th at 8:30 a.m. in room 42 at Searles Elementary
