| SCHOOL-BASED
FAMILY SERVICES
The Bethlehem Area School District has been offering support
services to children and their families since July 1, 1994. School-based
family support services were founded on the principle that the most effective
way to ensure the healthy growth and development of children is to support
their families and the communities in which they live. This also represents
a process involving segments of the community working as equal partners
to identify and achieve a vision that can be shared and mutually supported.
The goal is to provide families with a seamless network of services that
can be easily accessed through a local school.
To date there are many schools in the Bethlehem Area School
District that provide school-based family services. Each Family Center
is unique to each school, however, all Family Centers provide similar
services.
The school-based family support services include:
- Social Services
- Community linkages

- Health care services and clinics
- In-home child development education
- Educational workshops
- Information about finding employment
- Adult education
- Literacy instruction

foster care
