Abstract	This paper describes one urban school in the midst of change and renewal. J C Nalle Elementary School, Washington, DC, is a full-service community school that supports children and families. It is one of 85 schools with which the National Institute for Urban School Improvement is involved in partnerships for change. It is located in an impoverished neighborhood. Nalle's principal aggressively pursues a school improvement agenda that draws on the resources and talents of all school and community members. The school has a pediatric nurse, visiting registered nurse, social worker, psychologist, and parent coordinator. Health services are available to students, and health screening, education, information, and referrals are available to families. Enrichment opportunities are available to children and families (e.g., trips to the theater). Developing corporate and community partnerships is a priority. These partnerships go beyond financial support and include employee volunteerism and community enrichment activities for students. Nalle's special education students are included within the school. Teacher Assistance Teams use a proactive process to evaluate and support each child referred to special education. The paper describes the systemic change framework that helps schools like Nalle organize their work and design, implement, and monitor their plans. (SM)
