Family Resource Schools (FRS) is a joint partnership between the City of Boulder and the Boulder Valley School District to support families' capacity to raise healthy, well-functioning, and successful elementary-aged children. The broad array of prevention and early intervention services is developed and delivered according to the unique needs of families in each school community. The program especially emphasizes outreach to traditionally underserved populations to increase access to basic services and involvement in school.

The essential framework of FRS is to:

• Improve family self-sufficiency;
• Remove barriers to successful education; and
• Improve family functioning.

Creekside is one of five elementary schools served by FRS. Family Resource Schools services include:

• Case Management and Follow-up Services;
• Counseling: Individual and Group;
• Links with Service Providers;
• Domestic Violence;
• Prevention/Intervention:
  • Parent Development Classes;
  • Neighborhood Outreach;
  • Coordination of Special Event

Other services vary among FRS Schools and can include:

• Before & After School Child Care;
• After School Enrichment Classes;
• Volunteer Coordination;
• Academic Tutoring.
