Counseling Office

The mission of Communities in Schools of the Dallas Region (CISDR) is to surround our students with a community of support that will empower them to stay in school and achieve in life. We partner with local school districts to provide daily school-based interventions to the students that may be having academic difficulties, truancy, behavioral issues, and/or social service needs. We believe every child benefits from having a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult, a safe place to learn and grow, a healthy start and a healthy future, a marketable skill to use upon graduation, and a chance to give back to their peers and community.  

The CIS Six Component Activities are:

• Supportive Guidance & Counseling
• Health & Human Services
• Parental & Family Engagement
• College & Career Readiness
• Enrichment
• Academic Support

Parents and School Staff have the opportunity to refer students to the program. Through the referral process, students are identified as needing CIS services in one or more of the Six Components. The CIS Site Coordinator will provide the student and their family with community resources or direct services that will address their needs.

To recommend an individual or family, or to complete a parent consent form, please go to https://cisdallas.org/forms/ . All forms are available in English and Spanish.

Ranchview High School is proud to partner with Children’s Health^SM to provide convenient access to expert behavioral health care. Many students struggle with stress and emotional situations. If you’ve noticed your child or teenager being impacted, they may feel more comfortable talking to a therapist or counselor virtually. With your permission, your child can video chat with a licensed behavioral health provider – right from school, right from a tablet. You can join the session from work or home, too. It’s a convenient option for expert behavioral health care.

TeleBehavioral services at Ranchview High School will be covered in full for the first 4 sessions. Additional sessions will be billed to your insurance. Services that cost money will only be provided with your written consent. Visit School-Based TeleBehavioral Health for more information or call 844-856-6926.
