SPY (Serving Parents and Youth) is our afterschool intensive care program for elementary age students! The students that attend SPY, are also on our CIS Caseload, where they receive supports during the school day like behavioral intervention, tutoring, and/or basic needs . Our site coordinators are there to get to know the child and their family to help encourage and provide the needed resources to keep the child in school and on the path to graduation. Our site coordinators carry a caseload of 10% of the schools population.
SPY is offered Monday thru Thursday from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM, following the CCPS school schedule.

At Lakeview Middle School, our Site Coordinator carries a caseload of around 80 students at LMS. Like all sites, we provides school wide services like basic needs and school supplies. Ms. Karson provides a space to offer lunch groups and youth development and enrichment groups. This allows her the great opportunity to form relationships and learn more about the students that she serves. At LMS, we also have a small food pantry and clothing closet for students to use as needed.
The 8th Grade students at LMS participate in our Abstinence Education Program and in youth development activities that are planned in partnership with our SRAE (Sexual Risk Avoidance Education) Grant. Some of the Life Skills and Youth Development activities our students participate in are cooking classes, garden group, self-care kits, creative writing, trauma care, and much more!
