Testing Tips for STAAR Success
For many students, STAAR testing is underway, and CIS Dallas site coordinators are on campuses working extra hard to ensure students are equipped for success. But even the most accomplished students may experience anxieties and nerves during testing season. That's why we asked our program staff what resources and testing strategies they use in the classroom each Spring.

Make A Difference In A Student's Life Today!
We are weeks away from the end of the school year and are so proud of our students and all they have achieved! As STAAR tests continue and finals are soon to begin, site coordinators have been supporting student academics and partnering with their schools to address attendance and basic need challenges. Our clinical team continues to respond to on-campus needs and provide ongoing support to our campus staff. To date, we have served over 10,000 students across 148 campuses and our ability to serve these students is thanks to donors like you.

Will you help us close the school year strong with a financial gift? $50 will provide a month of support per student, including academic assistance and mental health services as needed. Make your gift by visiting cisdallas.org/donate/ and setting up a one-time or recurring donation. If your workplace matches charitable contributions, please contact cisdev@cisdallas.org so we may double your impact.
