Summon A Village - On September 12th, TPS, the University of Toledo and Penta Career Center announced a new community initiative that is based on offering a variety of educational opportunities and other services to residents living near Jones Elementary School. Penta Career Center is offering GED courses to people living in the Jones Elementary neighborhood, while the University of Toledo is providing classes to adults who have earned their high school diploma but are hoping to obtain a college degree. Fifth Third Bank is also a partner in this neighborhood-based initiative. Representatives from the bank provide financial instruction both in the classroom and in one-on-one meetings. Many thanks to the Toledo Community Foundation, the Padua Center and the Greater Toledo Urban League for supporting this unique outreach effort.
Graduation Coaches - Through a grant from AmeriCorps, graduation coaches are now working in schools across the district in support of students in 8th and 9th grade as they make the transition to high school and begin to think about college. Coaches will assist guidance counselors, and other school professionals, in developing and implementing personalized graduation plans for at-risk students.
