Every Student Deserves the Support to Succeed
In Rockport-Fulton, we believe in addressing the whole child—because academic success starts with meeting basic needs. Communities in Schools brings proven support directly to our campuses, removing barriers that stand between students and their bright futures.
Communities in Schools: Meeting Students Where They Are
Communities in Schools (CIS) is more than a program—it's a lifeline. By placing dedicated case managers directly on our campuses, CIS addresses the real barriers that prevent students from showing up ready to learn.
The question CIS asks is simple but powerful: Why? Why can't a student focus in class? Why are they missing school? Then, CIS works tirelessly to remove those obstacles, creating pathways to success for every child.
