Programs

Communities In Schools has implemented several programs to provide teachers, parents and communities with a unique opportunity to identify at-risk students and take steps to assist them in a variety of ways. We maintain over a dozen programs at a number of schools throughout Greenville County, with a case manager assigned to each school.

Case Management

At the root of our services is child-by-child case planning and management. Our Case Managers take a holistic view of children at risk, and design an appropriate plan. By making the connection to each student’s home and community, we reinforce their learning and identify other areas that influence their performance.

Academic Needs

We work closely with school staff to identify needs and provide assistance to help improve the academic focus of local schools. The purpose of these programs is to reduce dropout rates, increase promotion rates, and solidify attendance by developing individual program models based on school needs.

Health Care Needs

Our goal is to improve the health of our children, increase awareness of health care issues for parents, and see academic improvement in children with medical problems. Sometimes the solution involves helping families navigate the health care system, enrolling them in Medicaid, or simply arranging for transportation. With a little help and knowledge sharing, we promote healthy lifestyles, increase parental involvement, and increase access to community services.
