What is a community school?
Full-service community schools serve as a hub for academic, social and health services. This is possible through partnerships between schools, local nonprofits and other community-based organizations. Community schools aim to reduce barriers for students and their families. By providing extra supports in meeting basic needs, job training, and mental and physical health care, these sites aim to better equip students to focus and succeed in school.
Thank you for your interest in partnering with DISD. We define a community partner as an individual or group in our community who wants to contribute resources or services related to their expertise to support our students, staff, and families. You can complete the Community Partnership Submission Form. The form is a strategic effort to compile a contact list of new and existing community partners.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering to support our students, staff and families. Volunteers service can range from supplying food for events, supporting our Family Resource Center staff, support staff during the school day at events such as Field Day, or support after school events by helping set up or break down supplies. Complete the volunteer interest form if you would like to become a volunteer.
Thank you for your interest in serving our students as a mentor. Your positive relationship with student(s) makes a lasting impact on students lives and we are grateful for your support. Complete the mentor interest form if you would like to become a mentor.
