In Schools of Western Nevada
CIS of Western Nevada is here to support students in Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley and Wadsworth. Our mission is simple: surround students with a community of support inside our schools. Our site coordinators work to create an positive path to education by breaking through barriers and doing whatever it takes for our students.
By serving more than 10,000 students across 20 schools and counting, we’re empowering students to stay in school and unlocking their potential for a brighter future.
CIS of Nevada is proud to be in 20 Title I schools in Reno/Sparks and the surrounding community, serving the Washoe County School District. Our site coordinators work to connect students and their families to critical educational and community-based resources inside each school. Meet our site coordinators and the schools we’re in.

Our site coordinators share what they love most about helping our students build a better path to their future.
When one of my 3rd graders started working with CIS, he was struggling. At the start of school, his attendance was 42%. After meeting regularly and working to build trust and rapport, he started to open up. He was smiling and talkative, more engaged in class and in high spirits every day. This is when his attendance jumped to 74%.
