K-12 School Success
At CISAZ we are convinced that programs don't change kids -- relationships do.
Our full-time, school-based staff members work with educators to identify the most critical student and family needs that prevent children from succeeding
in school and in life.
Whether it means providing individual counseling services or connecting a family with resources for food and shelter, CISAZ staff works to meet those needs, both during the day and after school, thereby making the work of our educators much more effective.
K-12 School Success Initiative is based on connecting networks of support for students who meet the statistical profile of being at-risk of dropping out of school. Through public and private leadership in cooperation with schools, CIS Arizona takes a community development approach to supporting education by unifying the full resources of a community around children and families, using schools as a support system base. A full time Site Coordinator is placed at a school to address the social service needs of the children and families. CIS Arizona staff work closely with school staff, parents, community members to identify the specific needs that frequently become a barrier to a child's learning. Using a resource case management model, a Campus Plan is developed to connect resources tailored to each school site. Programming at each campus includes supportive guidance, crisis intervention, parental involvement activities, tutoring, community engagement initiatives, mentoring and other activities designed to productively engage students while addressing essential needs.
