Involvement with the school builds valuable connections with local stakeholders and reinforces the role of the school as a pillar of communal as well as academic growth. Community partnerships provide the funds and support necessary to improve the educational opportunities and personal development of students.

Examples: Volunteers are also a crucial component of Achievement Plus. Community members, parents, and local college students provide classroom support, assistance in extended learning, tutoring, and a variety of other useful volunteer services to the school and are in turn afforded a unique and enriching opportunity to impact the lives of students.

There are six key areas of learning support in the Achievement Plus program:

• Student and family assistance
• Home involvement in schooling
• Support for transitions
• Crisis and emergency assistance and prevention
• Classroom-focused supports
• Community outreach
