Homeless Students. XXXX Journey Academy works to ensure that all students, including those who are homeless, receive a top quality education. As recruitment of students will happen by street canvassing, reaching out to shelters, and working with existing city and state agencies, the team can identify all students, including those who may be homeless or in other ways at risk. XXXX’x entire approach to education is one that addresses meeting the needs of students at-risk of academic failure. The school’s philosophy of helping students achieve academic success through hard work and a longer school day/year works is specifically tailored to students who are struggling academically or behaviorally when they arrive at the school. We seek first and foremost to remove all barriers to the child’s enrollment or success at the school. No student is denied admission to the school based on the lack of forms or documents that may results due to homelessness. The school is able to identify if students are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, through initial home visits. Visiting or meeting with the student and his or her guardians are a pre-requisite to enrollment. As opposed to being a barrier to enrollment for a homeless student, however, home visits will allow XXXX Journey Academy to ascertain whether the student has a home or a guardian. If the student is determined to be homeless, or without guardians, the school will work in coordination with appropriate local entities and agencies to determine resources available, including shelter, food, and guardianship. As the state and city are likely to be overwhelmed by the needs of homeless students, the school will work with the state department of education to determine solutions if the existing social services in the city are insufficient to meet the needs of the XXXX Journey Academy students. Once enrolled, students who are homeless or become homeless over the year are eligible to receive all services as outlined in No Child Left Behind or any applicable state waiver. By constant communication with parents, families, and students, the staff will be able to identify if students are made homeless. In addition, the student will be assigned to a staff member who will act as a liaison and will be responsible for monitoring the student’s academic performance, as well as ensuring the following: • That the student has full and equal opportunity to succeed in the school and all related academic and extra-curricular activities; • That homeless fam...
