PROGRAMS WE OFFER
Student success and achievement in life are our core goals.
TIER SUPPORT SERVICES
School Wide/Small Groups/One-On-One
Tier 1: School-Wide Services
Our school-wide services and resources are designed to foster
a positive school climate and address school-level risk factors. They are short-term interventions that are provided on an as-needed basis. These services or resources are open to all students.
Examples of Tier 1 resources or services include motivational speakers for school-wide assemblies, career or college fairs, and school-wide anti-bullying programs.​We do this through a tiered approach by working with the entire school, targeted groups of students and high-risk individuals.
​
Tier 2: Targeted Small Groups
Our targeted small group activities are designed to help groups of students who are dealing with similar barriers. We implement programs and rely on our expert partners to provide support in areas where we don't have specific expertise. Those areas include math and reading tutoring, anti-bullying programing, mentoring groups, backpack meals, risky behavior initiatives and smoking cessation.
​
Tier 3: Individual Case Management
Our case management service is our most intense level of service and where we spend the majority of our time working with students. In conjunction with school staff, our interventions are guided by an integrated process of developing individualized support plans with each student and family and using that to guide, track, evaluate and adjust to fit the needs of each student we serve. Regular check-ins during school, supportive one-on-one sessions, home visits and referrals to outside support is crucial to ensure our students succeed.

BASIC NEEDS & EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
Helping Others Through Your Generosity
The three most basic needs in life come down to food, clothing, and shelter. CISGC notes the importance of love and support from a caring adult in addition to those basic needs and is determined to provide all recourses necessary to help each child have safety and success. We understand that if a child's basic needs are unmet, they are less likely to come to school and participate in class. Student support specialists work with students and their families to ensure they have resources such as food, clothing, shelter to promote a stable foundation for social, emotional, and academic prosperity.
