More time in school means more time to learn, connect & grow.

Research performed by Harvard examining millions of Texas student records found that CIS services were associated with approximately 46 additional school days attended for every 100 students in CIS schools. The research also found that improved attendance was connected to stronger academic performance and graduation outcomes!

That's why the work happening outside the lesson plan matters inside the classroom, too. 📚

We’re proud to partner with South Plains Food Bank to help meet student needs right where they are.

This school year, Site Coordinators across the South Plains will begin with a stocked food pantry, with support from the H-E-B Tournament of Champions helping replenish supplies throughout the year.

Together, we’re removing barriers and helping students stay focused on learning, growing and succeeding. 💙

A huge thank you to H-E-B for their generous school supplies donation! These supplies will go directly to our campuses, helping our Site Coordinators make sure students have what they need throughout the school year.🎒✏️

We’re so grateful to have partners like H-E-B, that continue to show up for local students! ✨

September is Attendance Awareness Month, but attendance is about more than a number on a report.

Every day in school gives students another opportunity to learn, build relationships and keep moving toward what's next. When something outside the classroom makes showing up harder, our Site Coordinators are already inside schools, ready to listen, understand what's getting in the way and connect students and families with support! 📚✨

New research from Harvard and Cornell confirms what we see every day: consistent, personalized support can make a lasting difference in a student’s life.

Monthly donors help make that support possible. Your ongoing gift helps CIS Site Coordinators show up for students across the South Plains with caring relationships, essential resources and individualized support throughout the school year.

Become a monthly donor and invest in support proven to help students succeed, month after month. 💛https://cissouthplains.org/donate/

A new year of CIS CYD groups is underway! 🎉

Students are already building connections, growing together and creating a positive impact across their campus. We’re excited to see all they accomplish this year!

A special thank-you to the YWCA of Lubbock for providing backpacks and helping our students begin the year feeling prepared and supported. 🎒💙

We’re so excited to announce our partnership with the South Plains Food Bank to help stock campus pantries with nutritious food and snacks throughout the school year, providing additional support for students and their families! 🍎✨

Partnerships like this are what make our work possible. By bringing community resources directly into schools, we can help students get what they need to focus on learning, growing, and reaching their potential.
