| Family Resource Center Spotlight
| |
|
PENCIL Family Resource Centers (FRCs) help students and families in six schools – Ivanetta H. Davis Early Learning Center, Tusculum Elementary, Madison Middle, Antioch High, Glencliff High and Maplewood High. Every FRC acts as a hub for community resources - helping families navigate outside agencies that can help with social, emotional and physical needs. FRC's stock emergency food and clothing, and develop services tailored to the school population, such as GED and English-language classes, parenting classes, eye exams and glasses, individual counseling and student leadership groups.
