Our Language Matches Our Mission!

At CISS, providing a safe and nurturing environment is important. Using language that is kind, respectful, and promotes wellness is what we teach our students. Recently, we held grade level assemblies to remind our students what acceptable language looks and sounds like. We want to continue our parntership with our community by modeling and holding ourselves accountable for being positive examples for our students.
