Table of Contents
Henrico County Public Schools and the Henrico County Department of Social Services will launch a new partnership to further support students, families, and community members through the Oak Avenue Complex in Highland Springs.
A representative from the Social Services Department will be present at the Oak Avenue Complex every Thursday, beginning Feb. 8, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to provide information about benefits and connect families with the resources available to them. The partnership also includes workshops covering topics such as childcare, energy assistance, and senior living.
These sessions will complement the community-focused sessions already regularly hosted by other HCPS departments, such as Family and Community Engagement, at The Oak.
“This partnership is going to bring us one step closer to The Oak’s vision of being a focal point for community connectivity, support and giving at HCPS,” said Kevin Robertson, the community school resource coordinator at The Oak. “I’m so excited for our students, families and community to take advantage of these opportunities.”
The Oak Avenue Complex (the former Highland Springs High School building) has been revitalized to serve as a hub for community resources and outreach efforts for Henrico County Public Schools. It opened in January 2023. For details, visit www.henricoschools.us/o/oakavenue.
