Title: Moscow School District Community Schools

Speakers: Brian Smith, Melissa Godfrey, Vanessa Thomas

Description: The Moscow School District #281 Community Schools program is a district initiative that connects local schools with families, businesses, and community partners to support student success both inside and outside the classroom. It builds partnerships that bring community resources like social services, enrichment activities, and basic-needs support into school settings so students and families can access them more easily. A central feature has been the Family Resource Hub where students and families can get things like clothing, books, school supplies, and connections to health and learning opportunities, as well as programs that link students with internships and career learning through local industry and organizations.
