My first few years as a Community School Coordinator (CSC) were, honestly, confusing.
When students feel seen, valued, and part of a caring community, they don’t just show up at school–they want to be there, and they show up ready to engage with learning, and with each other.
Creating a school environment where trust, safety, and belonging are felt by students, families, staff, and community partners is essential for meaningful learning and engagement.
