Dear CISD Families,

The school year is in full swing and we are excited about some upcoming initiatives and activities that we have planned. Please take a minute to read our newsletter. As the year continues and we are adding new programs and opportunities, we will need volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please click on the link.

We will have our next Advisory Committee meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 10th at 6:00 in the CMS Library. We will be reviewing the results of the latest survey. Anyone is welcome to attend.

* A Zoom link will be sent out closer to time for those that would like to attend remotely.

CISD has been awarded the Stronger Connections Grant. The purpose of the grant is to establish and improve school culture to produce strong relationships between staff and students, while addressing harmful, violent, and threatening behavior resulting in reductions in behavioral and disciplinary incidents, chronic absenteeism, incidents of bullying and harassment, and improved overall academic outcomes.

The center will be working off of referrals to help our students and families. Anyone can fill out the referral and all information is confidential.

Below is a link to the referral form.

On Tuesday, November 5th, all 6th-12th grade students attended a program in the HS auditorium to discuss Vaping and Marijuana. Students were given statistics, facts and had time to ask questions.

If anyone would like any information on how to seek help (students, parents, families), please contact our office and we will help you get set up with an agency that can provide the information and resources. All information will be kept confidential.

Volunteers are needed! If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up on the link provided. Please call our office with any questions. Our contact information is provided below.

Anyone interested in donating to this program, can click on the QR code below.

A recent survey was sent out to students (3rd-12th) and parents. We will receive the results of the survey in early December and the results will be shared. Please be on the lookout.

After reviewing the initial survey sent out about what parents would like to see, we have been working behind the scenes to plan events/activities to address the needs.

We appreciate your feedback!
