Welcome to the Spring Hill-Whittle Springs Community Partner Coalition.
This coalition has been established in response to the strong interest and requests from the Spring Hill Elementary School and Whittle Springs Middle School communities. It brings together a diverse group of stakeholders, including community partners, parents, staff members, and other key contributors. The primary objective of this coalition is to streamline the services provided by its members, fostering collaboration and enhancing our collective impact.

To ensure efficient and accurate tracking of participation, we will utilize this platform for sign-in at each of our meetings. This will allow us to maintain a clear record of involvement and engagement.

We are looking for Spanish-speaking volunteers to support a variety of Family Engagement events at Whittle Springs Middle School.

We would love to have you join us in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all of our families!
