Pregnant and Parenting Students

As of the 2012-2013 school year, GCSD created a new service delivery model for all pregnant and parenting students (PPS). The goal of this model is to provide a coordinated, systematic partnership with health and community agencies so students can achieve academic success and ultimately graduate. The School Social Workers work closely with administrators, school counselors, school clerks, attendance clerks, attendance supervisors, nurses, homeless liaison and drop-out prevention specialists to monitor grades, behavior, attendance and medical issues.

While being a teenager and a parenting student may be challenging, all identified students have the support to assist them in completing their education. In addition, each pregnant or parenting student has access to a school social worker to assist them in navigating through the health and social service communities.
