Be At School Program in Hennepin County
Healing Our Roots.
Liberating Our Future.
School success starts with feeling supported. When challenges make it difficult for a child to attend school consistently, our Be At School program partners with families to identify barriers, connect them with resources, and create a path toward regular school attendance.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Supporting Families Through School Challenges
Every family wants their child to succeed in school. Sometimes life circumstances, unexpected challenges, or navigating complex systems can make regular attendance more difficult. You don't have to figure it out alone.
The Be At School program may be a good fit if:
Your child is frequently absent or struggling to attend school consistently.
Your family is experiencing challenges that are affecting school attendance.
You need help navigating school systems or community resources.
You would benefit from someone who can advocate alongside your family.
You're looking for culturally responsive support that respects your family's experiences and values.
