Communities In School

Hello! My name is Rachael Craig, I am the Site Coordinator for Southside Elementary. CIS is here to help your students have everything they need to succeed in school. We offer a variety of basic needs such as clothing, hygiene items, school supplies, and other various needs. We have a weekend food program for students who are in need of that extra assistance. If your student or family has any of these needs please contact me at 775-397-4726 or email rachaelc@cisnevada.org. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!
