El consorcio de escuelas de la comunidad de Manchester
The Manchester Community Schools Consortium is a partnership between three lead agencies – the Manchester School District (MSD), Manchester Health Department (MHD), and Amoskeag Health–as well as multiple community partners. For ten years, the Consortium has leveraged national and local resources to strengthen program efforts in all Manchester’s public schools. The Consortium has helped to transform
these schools into neighborhood hubs, strengthening linkages between the school and community to improve student achievement systematically, increase family and neighborhood engagement, and improve student behavior and youth development.
Manchester Health Department Dental Care Program
The City of Manchester Health Department works with the Manchester School District to bring dental care to children in need at Manchester’s elementary, middle, and high schools. Dental care is provided on a dental van at each school during school hours by a certified Public Health Dental Hygienist and, when needed, a licensed dentist. Students can also be referred to local dental offices for ongoing dental care. The program serves an average of 600 students each school year at all 21 Manchester public schools.
INICIO YMCA
YMCA START es un programa extracurricular basado en investigaciones que atiende a 125 estudiantes de bajos ingresos de las escuelas Henry Wilson y Beech Street. El plan de estudios incluye 2.5 horas diarias de tutoría académica, aptitud física, habilidades para la vida, nutrición, artes, habilidades del siglo XXI, desarrollo del carácter y trabajo en equipo. El ochenta y dos por ciento de nuestros participantes hablan un idioma que no es el inglés en casa, por lo que START ayuda a las familias que necesitan apoyo para comprender la cultura y las escuelas estadounidenses. El año pasado, 75% de los estudiantes de START fueron reconocidos como ciudadanos del mes por sus escuelas y todos los estudiantes en el programa avanzaron un mínimo de dos niveles de lectura.
