OUR FOCUS
From the womb to the Graduation stage Communities In Schools of Catoosa
consists of two programs: Parents as Teachers and School Sites
Parents as Teachers (PAT) - The Parents as Teachers (PAT) Evidence- Based Model is the comprehensive home-visiting, parent education model that focuses on school readiness and child development serving children and families from prenatal to age five.
School Sites- We have Site Coordinators in four schools in Catoosa County: Cloud Springs Elementary, West Side Elementary, Lakeview Middle, and Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High. All school sites offer school-wide, small groups, and personal supports that work toward improvement on the ABCs (Attendance, Behavior, and Coursework/Grades).
