Family & Community Partnerships
The Division of Family & Community Partnerships believes in the incredible collective power that families, schools and community partners have in ensuring that every student can achieve their biggest dreams.
Our mission is to educate, engage and empower families by strengthening relationships, organizing resources, developing partnerships and creating opportunities that develop a strong and thriving community.
Our supports include:
Family-Focused Resources & Programming
Jeffco leaders attend events across the district to celebrate our schools and strengthen relationships with Jeffco families and community partners in support of student success.
Family Ambassadors create connections, build capacity, and grow community so that all newcomer families are fully equipped, empowered and engaged in their child’s education.
The Family Response Service Team (FRST) is the main point of contact for Jeffco families who need help connecting to school and district resources.
Jeffco strives to keep our students, staff, and families informed and engaged in discussions about various aspects of mental health affecting our community.
The Mobile Welcome Center (MWC) provides wraparound services and supports to families across Jeffco.
The Student Engagement Office enhances the overall educational experiences and outcomes of all students through support for educators and leaders, system and program innovation, and fostering collaborative school and community partnerships.
Translations & Interpretation Services support families by facilitating oral and written communication between speakers of two different languages.
Student & School-Centered Supports
Child Welfare Programming supports students who have experienced out-of-home placement through supports such as Fostering Opportunities.
Federal Programs work to provide access, equity, and opportunity in order to ensure the success of all students.
The Restorative Practices team is key to supporting this work in schools. Restorative Practices engages in every phase of the prevention and intervention continuum as well, teaching accountability, responsibility and reflection.
Community-Connected Partnerships
Community partnerships are essential to support the success of our students and families. We recognize the strengths and talents that exist in the communities that influence student learning and development and seek to use these to strengthen and support schools, students and their families.
Volunteers in Jeffco share their knowledge, skills, and expertise to make an impact on the academic lives of our students and the greater community.
Jeffco is creating a volunteer application process and directory to help match volunteers to schools and schools to volunteers. We intend to begin tracking volunteer hours and type to measure system-wide impact.
