Special Edition- Resources for Families
Notes from the principal...
We know this may be a difficult time for families as we struggle with distance learning, economics of some people now out of work, and the social emotional component of being quarantined and isolated from friends and family. We wanted to provide some academic, campus and community resources available to help you during this time. Please see below:

HJH- What is Communities in Schools?
CIS is dedicated to meeting the needs of our children through a team of professionals working together to provide supportive guidance, health and human services, parental involvement, pre-employment, enrichment, and academics in a personal one-on-one relationship. CIS supports the students’ positive growth and achievement by addressing individual needs in a caring, personalized, holistic, and accountable manner.
During the school year, your child will participate in enrichment and academic activities. This may include individual tutoring, mentoring, peer mediation, homework groups, boys and girls groups, field trips, arts and crafts, and recreational activities. CIS also provides supportive guidance that will allow the student to improve attendance, academic performance, and behavior.
We believe that your child will benefit from involvement in CIS. All services are provided at NO COST to the children and their families who are enrolled in the CIS program.
