Family Resources
At Lake View Charter School, we are honored to provide resources and support that help all families access educational and community services. Continue reading to learn about how we collaborate with school staff and local agencies to ensure homeless and foster youth can not only attend our school but succeed.
Foster & Homeless Youth
Lake View Charter School provides resources and assistance for our teachers, homeless students, and foster youth in compliance within the McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which ensures the right of students to go to school even when they are homeless or don’t have a permanent address. The Act aims to reduce barriers that have prevented many homeless youth from enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school.
The Title 1 Specialist works in collaboration with school staff and community service agencies in an effort to maximize access to various educational, social and enrichment programs which promote academic success, student achievement and social-emotional health and wellness.
Some of our objectives are to:
- Remove barriers to academic success for McKinney Vento-eligible students by connecting families to needed school supplies.
- Educate students and parents on their educational rights.
- Promote parent and student participation in school-related activities.
- Develop a resource list to provide families and youth who may not be familiar with community resources.
- Provide services for and link families to services which support academic success.
- Foster social and emotional well-being for students and families challenged by homelessness or low-income barriers.
