Circumstances and barriers for students vary widely across communities. Our local approach and work within our Tacoma Public Schools partner sites allow us to identify the unique needs in our Tacoma community and leverage resources to make a difference in the lives of our young people.
Across our community, the identified priority local needs and risk factors vary for each school, family, and individual student. To address these needs, our school-based site coordinators have implemented the following supports:
Our Services in Schools
Case Management
School-based site coordinators empower students to stay in school through individualized access to needed resources, and ongoing encouragement and guidance to build confidence to reach their potential and achieve their dreams.
*Integrated Student Supports
Communities In Schools provides students at each school site with 3 tiers of support. The level of services provided to students is based on the Early Warning Indicators to support students.
