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.
