Full Service Community Schools
Overview
A Full Service Community School is the heart of its community, a safe place to unite families, educators, and community partners who provide all students with top-quality academics, enrichment, health and social services, and opportunities to succeed in school and life. In Paterson, our Full Service Community Schools offer a variety of services, such as after-school and summer programs, school-based health clinics, behavior and mental health counseling, mentoring and anti-bullying programs, chronic absenteeism support, enrichment activities, college and career preparation, adult education programs, parent and family workshops, and access to social services through our various partnerships. See below for services and programs offered at your neighborhood Full Service Community School and contact your school’s FSCS coordinator or health clinic for more information.
- Provide access for our students and families – Effective academic programs and quality resources are essential for students to graduate prepared for college and career and to later become responsive and responsible citizens.
- Nurture strong partnerships and identify community assets – Our community has many resources that provide supportive programs and activities for our schools to address barriers to learning and sustain Paterson’s community schools initiative.
- Set high expectations for students and adults – Paterson’s community schools have high expectations. All students have the ability to learn at rigorous levels and adults are expected to operate at high levels in order to achieve established school goals. Parents are provided opportunities to be a partner in their child’s education.
- Operate as a results-driven / data-driven community – Paterson’s community schools utilize multiple measures of data to identify the best strategies and effective practices towards established goals in student achievement, attendance, and parental and community engagement.
