The Link

The goal of the Community Schools model was designed to create environments where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally within a connected community. Their mission is achieved through collaboration among school staff, students, families, and community partners. Key practices include fostering a culture of belonging, providing community-connected instruction, and promoting collaborative leadership with shared power and voices. By engaging students and families and integrating support systems, Community Schools strategy addresses diverse student needs. This holistic approach is supported by actionable data, professional development, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring lasting positive outcomes.

On campus resources 

THE LINK operates under the tenets of the Community Schools model. We believe that if the community is invited to the school to:

·       Contribute meaningful direct services and resources

·       Participate in the strategic decision-making process

Then:

·       We can address the needs of the “whole child” and families in real-time

·       Take collective ownership and accountability for upending systemic inequities

·       Provide more opportunities for students to succeed academically and in life

 

While the specific programs and services may vary, there are four key pillars of the Community School approach:

1.     Integrated student supports

2.     Expanded and enriched learning time

3.     Active family and community engagement

4.     Collaborative leadership and practices
