Through the collaborations of Club Boulevard Staff and Parents and Communities in Schools, our Family Resource Center was opened in the Spring of 1997. The role of the Family Resource Center has been  to link and connect our families to the school in a way that meets the family and student needs. The Center's goals are to help students as part of the global community become life long learners and help their families be a part of their children's lives in meaningful ways.

    The Center has an active Advisory Board that is comprised of Club Boulevard Staff and parents. The Advisory Board has met on a monthly basis to plan the Center's Events and Activities that are set at the End-of- the- School Year Retreat.

    The Center has received its funding from CIS, Americorp Grant, Children's Trust Fund, and local philanthropists. For two years the Center had a Director from  an Americorp Volunteer Grant.

    The Director solicited, trained and scheduled volunteers from local businesses, Duke University Learning in Retirement Center, Duke University sororities and fraternities, the general community and our own parents. For the past three years we have had approximately 85 volunteers in our school on a weekly basis. The volunteers have helped the staff meet the academic needs of our students through their individual tutoring. A wonderful by-product of this relationship is the friendships and mentoring relationships that are developed over the period of the school year. In some instances, some volunteers have worked with the same students for 2 or 3 years.

    The Center , also, plans other activities and events to involve are parents and students:

    Parent Coffees in the Family Resource Center
    Parent Classes - How to Help your Child Adjust to Kindergarten. How to Help your Child with Homework, Help Your Child Deal With Anger
    Parent & Child Classes - Computer Classes, How to Use the Internet Class, How to Improve your Child's End of Grade Test Scores

    Events - Nifty Gifty Days - MultiCultural Fair - Family Dinners - Special Evenings for Information on Testing - Middle School Transition - Kindergarten Family Pizza Party - Family Field Trips
