Community School Director Maria Marandola

Dear Team Young Families,

 

As our Community School Director, I am dedicated to making our school a place where students love to learn, families feel welcome, and staff feel supported. My role is to bring together resources, programs, and partnerships that help every member of our school community thrive.

I work closely with teachers, families, and local organizations to ensure that our school is more than just a building—it’s a hub of connection, care, and opportunity. From creating after-school programs and family workshops to coordinating community resources and student supports, I strive to make sure every child and family feels seen, valued, and part of something bigger.

My goal is simple: to build a school environment where everyone wants to be—because they feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.
