Leonardo — Reagan Elementary School Leonardo has shown a love of learning from an early age. He relies on CISDR to make sure he stays on track in school, and he is glad that CISDR makes learning fun. He says, “I like coming to CISDR. I like playing number bingo and practic- ing the alphabet with my friends. ”

CISDR works with vulnerable students during their entire school career, from elementary school through high school. From an early age, CISDR works one-on- one with students like Leonardo all day and every day, before the bell and beyond, so they establish a clear path to graduation. Leonardo shows that he is already looking to the future when he says, “I want to learn. I want to be a policeman!”

Tykia — Forest Meadow Junior High School Tykia is a smart student who has been working with CISDR to improve her attendance and behavior issues in school. Tykia points out that she was introduced to CISDR as a result of a disciplinary issue: “I was surprised to �nd out about CISDR after I was sent to in-school suspension. CISDR has helped me with tutoring and my anger management. They helped me talk about my feelings, and they helped mewith my behavior and my attendance. I even received a commended performance on my Social Studies TAKS.” Tykia is now motivated to get an education because of CISDR. She also has a better understanding of how she will achieve her hopes and dreams. She says, “Education is really important. If you don’t have it you won’t have a good job, and I don’t want to be broke. I want to be a chef when I’m older because I’ve been cooking since I was eight.”

Leslie — Plano East Senior High School Leslie was recommended to CISDR during her junior year at Plano East High School. She was dealing with family issues at home that left her struggling at school. She was living with her brother and father after her mother had moved out, and she was also trying to support her son as a new teen mother. At school, Leslie’s grades were dropping, and she was struggling with attendance issues. How- ever, with CISDR’s help she was able to complete her junior year on track. During her senior year, Leslie was a completely different student. Through the individualized support of CISDR, she worked hard to improve her grades. She stopped having attendance issues, and she also began working on her relationship with her mother again. Leslie graduated from Plano East High School in May of 2012, and she is now enrolled at Collin College. Our Schools

“CISDR services are reviewed each year and developed in collaboration with the school needs and administration. CIS plans have also been more than adequate and very much appreciated. The risk of a cut in funding or lack of support for the CIS program would leave a very large void on our campus.”

GEMS (Girls Exploring Math and Science) The Girls Exploring Math and Science (GEMS) program continued to make a signi�cant impact in the lives of middle school girls this year.

CISDR was grateful to have schools through the KETCHUP Saturdays initiative by bringing them to these AmeriCorps members on board during the 2011-2012 school year the CISDR central office for one-on-one academic tutoring and small group to work with parents, students and the community. Moreover, 6 members remained on board by applying to become full-time CISDR professional staff. Over the course of the 3 year grant, the AmeriCorps program increased the CISDR community footprint, taught students about the importance of giving back, and engaged parents in a new way. This group of AmeriCorps innovators truly enhanced the CISDR experience! United Way: Destination Graduation In partnership with the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, CISDR continued to implement the Destination Graduation (UWDG) program this year to help high school students establish a solid foundation for graduation and college and career success. UWDG helped strengthen college preparation activities, parental involvement and career exploration as a part of CISDR’s core campus-based support system. In 2011-2012, CISDR was awarded the UWDG grant to increase services beyond the initial campus at Plano East Senior High to include Lincoln High School, Samuell High School and Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas ISD, North Mesquite High GEMS students designing a waterslide School and West Mesquite High School in Mesquite ISD and McMillen High School and Williams High School and in Plano ISD.
