Community School Directors: Leading with Purpose and Passion
3:45 PM - 5:00 PM Thu
Jeanette Frazier, a Master’s level social worker, joined the Children’s Aid Society in 1994 as an assistant teacher for CAS’s first Head Start program in a community school. In 1996, she became a Family Worker, providing support to the parents of children enrolled in the Head Start Program, and in 1998, she became the Family Partnership Coordinator, working to build a seamless transition from Head Start to Kindergarten for both children and their families.
In 2005, Jeanette became the Community School Director at PS/IS 50, where she partnered closely with the principal and school staff and coordinated a full range of programs and services, including the Early Learn Program, afterschool program, parent engagement, summer camp, and targeted outreach and support for students who are chronically absent. The strong team at PS/MS 50 was recognized for excellence in 2007, when the school received the first America’s Promise Alma and Colin Powell Partnership Award.
In September 2017, Jeanette transitioned to Central Park East II, a K3 through 8th grade school.
