Community Schools
Natomas High School is excited to share we are now a community school! Community schools are public schools that partner with the community to improve student outcomes by focusing on the physical, emotional, and social needs of students. Community schools work with families, teachers, students, and community agencies to align resources and improve student outcomes. Community schools offer services and support that fit the needs of the neighborhood, such as: free healthy meals, health care, tutoring, shifts in school culture, policies, approaches to teaching and learning.
For more information on Natomas High School and our journey as a community school, contact Dr. Cerrene Yvonne-Cervantes, Natomas High School's Community Schools Coordinator, at cyvonnecervantes@natomasunified.org.
Our Community Schools Coordinator Making Connections in the Community
As part of the work of Community Schools, our staff spends time in the community connecting with families, our neighbors, and school partners.
Our Community Schools Coordinator, joined the Jefferson School Community Coordinator at the Dia de los Muertos celebration held at Northgate Park. While there, they shared information about our schools and how community members can be involved.
Look for them to be at future events throughout our community educating people on Community Schools and inviting them to come along on this journey.
