Every Child Has Access 2016-2017 Resource guide
Every Child Has Access Today schools are faced with a plethora of challenges from making sure students are fed when they are not on campus, to safety and health concerns, to kids having kids. Creating an environment for students to be successful begins by discovering, understanding and knowing their critical needs. Based on those critical needs, it then becomes determining pathways that ensure students have the skills necessary to succeed. To solve this complex situation will require convening key stakeholders, creating strategies, leveraging resources, and activating the community. In short: a multi-pronged partnership. True transformation in our education system begins with understanding and understanding comes from knowing the needs of our student population. The Longview Chamber of Commerce has created an initiative, Every Child Has Access, to bring those partnerships together in order to meet those individually identified needs.
Every Child Has Access is a collective impact project that will address the overall wellbeing of students during non-school hours, in an effort to create a continuous environment conducive to learning and health.

It is important to know that each grade level has a specific curriculum that aligns with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). In other words, each child should have a minimum academic knowledge in reading/language arts, science, mathematics, and history-social science, regardless of the school they attend. For example, in mathematics, children in third grade develop an understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100. In reading/language arts, fifth graders are expected to quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

Welcome to the early adolescence stage. This development age is particularly difficult, and children at this age require as much attention from adults as during elementary school years. Early adolescents experience physical and emotional changes, and some of them may show less interest in school and their studies and more in social interactions. There is peer pressure to engage in risky behaviors. At this age, it is common for them to become distant from their parents. It is critical for parents to remain supportive, continue to build a close relationship, and communicate effectively with their children.

Most young people enter high school between 14 and 15 years old. To ensure they graduate with a high school diploma, students must complete grades 9-12 and pass all required testing (may differ between locations). Each district has specific graduation requirements including mastery of Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). It is important for you to know which classes and number of credits the student must complete to meet such requirements. Students will be able to choose some courses and these course credits go toward graduation. There are some courses they will be required to take. Parents should be aware of these differences because they are key factors when young people apply to a college or a university.
