Family Support Specialists (FSS) are available to assist in removing non academic barriers that many families face during challenging times.  Our goal is to lighten the mental load that many students carry with them that can have a negative impact on their ability to learn.  We help connect our families to community resources so they can navigate some of the barriers that life throws at them.  We can offer assistance with locating basic needs (clothing, food, furniture, housing, etc),  help promote positive interactions between home and school, help build positive relationships between students through peer mentoring, assist with gaining reliable transportation and help assist families in locating other resources as needed.  

We do not have all the answers to life, but we know where to locate some of them!
