UTMB Health Proud Sponsor of Communities In Schools - Sip and Stroll
Communities In Schools - Bay Area is a non-profit 501(c)(3) that provides school dropout prevention services to at-risk students in Clear Creek and Dickinson Independent School Districts. We work inside school systems with superintendents, principals, educators and other personnel, and forge community partnerships that bring resources into schools and help remove barriers to learning. Our model addresses the total student—because students with unmet physical, psychological and social needs cannot learn effectively—and the whole school environment. Our research has shown that this attention to the needs of both the entire school and the individual student is critical to reducing dropout rates and increasing graduation rates.
