SEE SCH O FOR COMPLETE DESCRIPTION.ACADEMICS:THE ANSLEY SCHOOL CURRENTLY SERVES KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 4TH GRADE AND WILL CONTINUE TO ADD A GRADE EACH YEAR, EVENTUALLY BECOMING A PRE-K THROUGH 8TH GRADE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL. OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION THE TRAUMAS ASSOCIATED WITH HOMELESSNESS. TO ENSURE WE ARE PROVIDING ADEQUATE SERVICES, THE FIRST HOUR OF EACH DAY IS DEDICATED TO ASSESSING EACH STUDENT'S SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. OUR SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT CONSISTS OF TWO ONSITE SOCIAL WORKERS, A SCHOOL THERAPIST, AND A SOON-TO-BE SOCIAL SERVICES PARAPROFESSIONAL; TOGETHER THEY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO THE STUDENTS WHO MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED OR WITNESSED A TRAUMATIC EVENT BEFORE COMING TO SCHOOL. THE SAME INTENTIONALITY IS APPLIED TO ACADEMICS. BY USING SINGAPORE MATH AND AMPLIFY CKLA ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS ASSESSMENT TOOLS, TEACHERS CAN EVALUATE EACH CHILD'S PROFICIENCY AND CREATE PERSONALIZED LEARNING PLANS (PLPS). IN ADDITION, WE USE MAP (MEASURE OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS) PRE, MID, AND POST-ASSESSMENTS TO ENSURE OUR STUDENTS ARE ACHIEVING NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR LEARNING. OUR CLASS SIZES ARE CAPPED AT 15, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR TEACHERS TO GIVE ADEQUATE AND PURPOSEFUL ATTENTION TO EACH STUDENT.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROCESS REQUIRES ONGOING SUPPORT SERVICES FOR PARENTS AND/OR CAREGIVERS. BY THE TIME OUR FAMILIES REACH US, LIFE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED- THEY HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED OR BEEN EXPOSED TO SPECIFIC TRAUMA(S) THAT HAVE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED OR HALTED THEIR PROGRESSION. THE PURPOSE OF THE FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM IS TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF TRAUMA, REVERSE THE CYCLE OF GENERATIONAL POVERTY IN THEIR FAMILIES, AND HELP THEM GAIN PERMANENT STABILITY.DURING OUR INTAKE AND SCREENING PROCESS, FAMILIES ARE ASKED TO COMPLETE THE LIFEWORKS SELF-SUFFICIENCY MATRIX (LW-SSM), A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE ARIZONA SELF-SUFFICIENCY MATRIX. RESEARCH POSITS THAT THE MATRIX IS A RELIABLE AND VALID MEASURE TO DETERMINE AN INDIVIDUAL'S LEVEL OF INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE ACROSS SEVERAL DOMAINS, WHICH WILL ALLOW THE ANSLEY SCHOOL TO PROVIDE A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MEETING A FAMILY'S NEEDS. THE DATA IS COLLECTED USING CHARITYTRACKER- A SOCIAL SERVICES DATA SYSTEM THAT IS USED IN OVER 2,000 CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, TRACKING 3.5 MILLION CASES AND OVER 10 MILLION ASSISTANCE RECORDS. BASED ON THEIR AVERAGE LIFE DOMAIN SCORE AND SELF-IDENTIFIED GOALS, A FAMILY SUCCESS PLAN IS CREATED THAT IDENTIFIES STEPS TO ACHIEVE EACH GOAL, AVAILABLE RESOURCES, AND AGREED-UPON COMPLETION DATES.THROUGH OUR FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM, WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: JOB PLACEMENT, FINDING PERMANENT HOUSING, TRAUMA THERAPY, TRANSPORTATION, EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE, EMERGENCY SHELTER ASSISTANCE, EMERGENCY UTILITY ASSISTANCE, AND ADDITIONAL CASE-BY-CASE NEED-BASED SERVICES.
