Community Liaisons Build a Community of Student Support 

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everyone can use a little help sometimes. Helping to remove barriers to learning is a primary role for Campbell Union School District&rsquo;s Community Liaisons.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&ldquo;Our Community Liaisons are one of the best examples of our goal of partnering and engaging with our families and community,&rdquo; said Superintendent Shelly Viramontez. &ldquo;We engage with our families in meaningful ways and connect them with support when students have non-instructional problems that may be impeding their ability to learn and thrive.&rdquo;</span></p> <p><strong>Intervening Early&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With more than 6,000 families in our schools, the list of &ldquo;non-instructional&rdquo; problems can vary greatly. A student with poor attendance or increased negative behaviors at school may be experiencing serious challenges outside of school: illness in the family, loss of housing, and exposure to traumatic events to name a few. As new families arrive at school from all parts of the world, our Community Liaisons are a key point of contact for connecting parents to school and support agencies. Their broad network of community partnerships help families keep students in school, focused on learning.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong>Empowering Families&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our Liaisons also provide access to parent education programs at their child&rsquo;s school or through community college and agencies. These classes educate families on navigating the school system to support their students&rsquo; education. Students see their parents committed to learning and the power and importance of education. Liaisons also conduct parent education workshops, manage the school&rsquo;s English Learners Advisory Committee, and coordinate community health fairs and events with our many community partners as part of our School Linked Services (SLS).&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&ldquo;I am so proud of our Community Liaisons,&rdquo; said Family Engagement Supervisor Veronica Gutierrez. &ldquo;Our staff work tirelessly to enrich the experiences of our families and connect them with the school community.&rdquo;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For more information about this kind of support at your child&rsquo;s school, please contact the school principal or the District&rsquo;s Student Services Department, </span><a href="mailto:contact@campbellusd.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">contact@campbellusd.org</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or 408-364-4200 ext. 6250.</span></p>
