Clovis South Area IMPACT Program
Clovis South Area IMPACT Program
The Clovis South Area IMPACT Team is part of a district-wide effort to improve support for students academically, emotionally, and socially. Our program focuses on developing positive relationships with students and parents, providing services and resources for students to reach their potential and pursue their goals, and creating a sustainable support system for our participating students from elementary school through high school.
The Clovis South Area has a dedicated IMPACT Team that will support students on a regular basis. IMPACT Team Mentors will focus on students who may not seek out help and would benefit from one-on-one support, mentorship, and increased connections to school services and resources.
How to connect with the Clovis South Area IMPACT Team:
Elementary Students-contact your school Principal or Elementary School Counselor for referral.
7-12th grade Students-contact your School Counselor for referral.
