Hi Promise Community School Families!
As a community school, we place importance in making sure our families are connected to resources and information in our community. Throughout the school year, we share a compiled list of resources from BakerRipley and other places in Houston every 1-2 weeks. These are not resources that the school district is directly responsible for so we share contact information so that you can follow up with the appropriate people.
This week's resources include eviction information sessions, food drives, parenting classes and more.
Also, please note the BakerRipley Rental Assistance Program is still accepting applications, so if you still need assistance with rent, please visit bakerripleyrenthelp.org
