#SCSUpdates | As of today, there are 83 students in our district that are experiencing homelessness. This is a 98% increase from last year at this point in the school year. With that being said, school social workers and staff members are doing a great job with identifying students who might qualify under the McKinney-Vento Act.
With the weather changes, students who are experiencing homelessness can be affected and how they might present themselves. Some signs that you might see could include the following: complaining about being cold frequently, missing gloves or hats, not having proper winter footwear, wearing the same clothes repeatedly, even when visibly dirty, or wearing clothes that are too small or too big for their size.
If you suspect a student is experiencing homelessness due to cold weather, please use the QR code to contact Paris Green, HMS POC.
