Welcome to the Family and Student Support Webpage. My name is Amy Gay and I am the Family Support Specialist for Nordonia Hills City Schools. The Family Support Specialist supports families by providing access to community and county resources and building the connection between family, community, and school.
PhilosophyParenting can be one of the most challenging yet fulfilling jobs you will ever have. I recognize the importance of developing and sustaining successful partnerships between the family, the school, and the community. Understanding that successful partnerships are developed when those involved recognize and welcome differences among families, communities, and cultures. While recognizing the primary responsibility for the development and well-being of children lies with the family, I strive to enable the family to build on their own strengths and abilities to promote the healthy development and success of children. |
