It is important that children have an opportunity to learn, grow and develop their strengths, no matter their circumstances.

Guilford County Schools endeavors to ensure that every student in our system has the benefit of an education.  This includes those students who by virtue of their parents' economic status do not reside in a stable housing situation.  Research indicates that over 1.5 million children in the United States are homeless or living in situations that cause them to have to relocate regularly.  Students who are precariously housed have a greater chance of falling behind in their school work and face a number of barriers to learning.

It is especially important that children who are experiencing homelessness with their families feel like the school is supporting them.  The schools, parents and community agencies all have a part in making that support successful. 

Greetings Parents and Students!

The Office of Students in Transition has some exciting news to share.  We are launching a communication tool, called Bloomz.  This app will be used to keep you abreast of McKinney-Vento updates and webinars, community resources and events, GCS school announcements, and all things that revolve around transitional support, resources, and referrals.  Parents and unaccompanied youth in transition will also have access to Housing Questionnaires to update housing status, update addresses, and request transportation.  Bloomz also has a chat feature where you can send private messages directly to our office.
