Communities In Schools of Central Texas

Did you know #CommunitiesInSchools supports college, career, and military readiness by helping students prepare for life after graduation? Together with our school partners, we are making sure every student has a strong path forward to achieve their goals—and dreams.

Congratulations to our @DVISD_DVMS Program Manager, Tiffany Huerta! She was recognized during @RecognizeGood’s Say Thanks, Austin, ceremony for her volunteer work with @BigLoveCancer Care. We’re proud of you, Tiffany! #AllInforKids #BeingPresentMatters #Volunteer

Happy Spring Break to the students, families, educators and partners across Central Texas! Thank you for everything you do to support students every day. We hope this week brings some well-deserved rest and time to recharge. 🌸

CIS of Central Texas has launched a new PATHS partnership with Austin Community College to support CIS alumni in college with case management and wraparound supports. Only about 15% of students facing economic barriers earn a two-year degree, and this work helps change that.

Students – we see you. Your effort matters. Your presence matters. Your future matters. We’re proud to be #AllInForKids. Watch: youtu.be/zVh2_L4Eq6A?si… Want to bring “I See You” to your workplace? Contact Maria Campos: contact-us@ciscentraltexas.org

Student persistence is critical to long-term success! 99.9% of CIS-served students remained in school, proving that early intervention and sustained support make a real difference.

In Central Texas, 1/4 of children live in a food-insecure household, and unmet basic needs are affecting attendance and learning. CIS helps stabilize families through basic-needs support and campus partnerships, so students can show up ready to learn and thrive.
