The Children’s Home + Aid Community School mission is to give help, hope, and opportunity to children and families by removing barriers to academic and social success through school and community partnerships.

Benjamin E. Mays Academy has partnered with Children’s Home + Aid to bring you extended services, including summer programming, after-school programs, parent and family programs, and adult education with the goals of increasing academic and social success.

There will be a variety of programs available throughout the year that students, parents, and families may sign up for. Though these programs will take place outside of school hours, they will follow the same policies and procedures as the regular school day.

Notifications about the programs will be shared with students during the school day, through fliers in the main office and around the school, and through information sent home. Anyone interested in signing up must fill out an enrollment form in order to participate. Once a student or parent is signed up, it is expected that they will commit to the program and maintain proper attendance and participation.

Parents and students that sign-up for any Children’s Home + Aid program will receive a handbook of guidelines and expectations. It is anticipated that parents and students will be familiar with the handbook and will comply with the appropriate policies and procedures.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the Mays’ Community and we hope that many students, parents, and families will take part in the exciting programming available.

Any questions should be directed to Danielle Dabbs, the Community Schools' Manager. The Community Schools Office is located in room 110. Ms. Dabbs can be reached by e-mail at ddabbs@childrenshomeandaid.org and by phone at (312) 330-2708.
