Education Success Update - January

As we reflect on 2020 and plan the year ahead, something that never changes is our commitment to steadying students & families on the paths they choose.

In 2020...

• Critical program adaptations were fueled by community financial support. Our ability to provide consistency through monumental challenges helped ensure 100% graduation.

• Families told us meals, essentials, and in-person support for remote instruction were top priorities. EnCompass delivered 49,419 wraparound supports (a 1050% increase!)

• Our resilient Norman Howard School students and educators weathered the storm together! 99.5% of all courses were passed by students.

In the Year Ahead...

• Learning and opportunity gaps continue to widen and deepen due to COVID-19, but children's lives are not on hold. Increased community investment is necessary to meet the evolving needs of Rochester students and families.

• EnCompass is launching Afterschool Remix (remote, hands-on after school learning) and opening the doors to a new campus Learning Center where children and families can access academic and support resources, a kitchen, and free laundry facilities.

• The Norman Howard School is the only resource of its kind regionally. As other schools struggle to meet students' needs, we are further refining our expertise and models, enrolling tomorrow's graduates, and supporting parents to advocate for their children. Take a look at how we are "leaning into outdoor learning."
