Community Partners Network
January 2022
2022 Partnership Resolutions
As we quickly settle into a new year, the Comal ISD CPN Team would like to share the different partnership opportunities we have available. There are many benefits of investing in your local schools and we invite you to join us and see what Comal ISD has to offer. The spring semester is a bustling time for our teachers and students both in academic assignments and our diverse range of extra curricular clubs and activities. We need your help to get us through!
CISD's strategic initiatives focus on high standards of education and high expectations of our staff, students, and families. We know the success of student achievement and impact of our programs cannot be possible without support from outside the classroom walls. We rely on our partnerships to share our mission to graduate every student ready for military, career, and/or college.
We hope one of your 2022 resolutions is to further engage with Comal ISD and be a champion in the lives of our community's future workforce, military, and young leaders. See the newsletter to learn more!
