Welcome to CIS!
We are delighted that you have chosen Corrales International School for your family. CIS is a unique school that offers a great educational experience, while
striving to create a strong sense of community and cooperation. Our amazing teachers, dedicated staff and involved parents all work together to create a caring environment that allows our children to flourish.
Each family brings unique abilities, strengths and interests to our school community. Teachers, staff and families have come together to support the International Baccalaureate mission. The support we receive from each of you is invaluable. Strong parent involvement, school-to-home communications, and support for our core values create a powerful partnership at CIS. We invite each of you to become involved through our active PTA, as classroom volunteers, and through our many events held throughout the year. Events such as the Jog-A-Thon, International Day, and Book Fairs bring our community together both for fun and in support of school priorities.

Parent Involvement
At CIS we recognize that one of the best predictors of academic success is parent involvement. We encourage each of you to become involved! All volunteers must undergo an APS background check. If you have yet to have yours done, please ask our receptionist, Patti Brainard, for the form!
Classroom Parent
Be a classroom parent and help your child's teacher! Contact your child's teacher directly if you are interested.
School Advisory Committee
The SAC is composed of parent and staff representatives and collaborates with the Head of School on many aspects of the school's management and policy development processes. If you are interested, please contact SAC Chairwoman, Stacy Blackwell at sblackwell18@comcast.net.
Sponsor an After School Club
Clubs for the 2013-14 school year will include girl scouts, sports teams, math, chess, art, soccer, drama, bugs, journalism, yearbook and Battle of the Books, among other potential offerings! This program relies heavily on parent volunteers to sponsor these activities! If you would like to sponsor a club either before or after school, please contact Tara Armijo-Prewitt at tprewitt@gmail.com or 304-0672. We are actively seeking a volleyball coach, basketball coaches, RoboRAVE, Math Olympiad and Architecture with Legos sponsors!
Join the PTA
Teachers, staff and families come together to support the CIS mission! The CIS PTA funds our after school programs, class field trips, and our summer Kindergarten Spanish Language Academy, among other things. Joining the PTA is a great way to get to know CIS families and work together to make a difference! Contact Megan Walsh at mmwalsh@swcp.com to join.
