Community Schools
What is Community Schools?
South Whittier School District serves over 2,000+ students, their families, and their guardians. As part of the Community Schools Movement, we believe that students and families thrive when we work together.
Community Schools are built on a simple idea: Schools become stronger when they partner with families, staff, and the community to meet the whole needs of every student.
This means we focus on:
Strong relationships with students, families, and staff
Support services that remove barriers to learning
Family engagement and leadership
Enrichment and learning opportunities beyond the school day
Collaboration between the school, district, and community partners
