Yesterday, some of our district leaders joined Communities In Schools of Appalachian Highlands leaders and Tennessee State Rep. John Crawford for a visit to Anderson Elementary School to see firsthand some of the great work happening through our CIS partnership. ❤️

From surprising kindergarten students with an attendance treat to rolling a coffee cart through the halls for teachers, the visit offered just a small glimpse of what CIS coordinators do every day across BTCS.

They’re part of our school communities, building relationships with students and families, celebrating successes, helping meet needs, and connecting students with resources and opportunities that help them thrive.

And the impact adds up! Across BTCS, CIS-AH has provided 84,948 instances of support, hosted 540 events, and served 368 case-managed students.

We’re grateful for this partnership and for all the people working together to support our students and families.

For students to succeed in the classroom, sometimes they need support that extends beyond academics...

Dolly Parton did so much to invest in others, especially in Tennesseans, and especially in children.

She leaves a wonderful legacy of love and of believing in people.

Many of our students and staff celebrated her today by dressing up in her honor. We think Dolly would have loved it.
