CIS Community Impact
Communities In Schools of Chesterfield does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis
of sex, race, color, age, religion, disability or national origin in employment or in its
educational programs and activities.
Dear Friends,
Communities In Schools (CIS) of Chesterfield is pleased to present our annual report for 2007-08,
which highlights and summarizes our programs and accomplishments.
Since the founding of our public-private partnership 15 years ago, our goal has been helping
students considered at-risk achieve academic and personal success.
Our efforts are guided by the idea that all children should have the basics they need, and deserve,
to succeed. The Five Basics, set by Communities In Schools national, are a one-on-one relationship
with a caring adult, a safe place to learn and grow, a healthy start and a healthy future, a
marketable skill to use upon graduation and a chance to give back to peers and community.
This annual report features programs and partnerships that help us ensure that every student has
the opportunity to achieve the five basics. Also featured in the report are other in-kind donations and
donors whose generous contributions allow us to continue and expand offerings to the students.
We believe that every student should have the right to a promising future. CIS has helped more
than 2,000 students this year closer to their own bright future.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines quality as a degree or level of excellence; something that is
special in a person or thing. We thank all of our partners who have helped us achieve such high quality
in the programs we offer to our students. We are real people, with real solutions and real results.
Sincerely,
Debra Girvin
CIS Chair 2007-08

A One-on-One Relationship
with a Caring Adult
Research shows that a relationship with a caring adult significantly impacts short-term as well as
long-term success. CIS offers the community a variety of ways to develop caring relationships with
students.

community members with a student. They talk and work on
pleasure. Chat ‘n’ Chew entered its seventh year at Chalkley

A CLOSER LOOK:
YMCA Learn-to-Swim Initiative
Knowing how to swim is a lifesaving skill that is important for children to be
exposed to, but not every child is able to have that opportunity. Through the
YMCA’s Learn-to-Swim Program many more children are able to learn this
important skill.
The YMCA program is an eight-week swimming skills and water safety
initiative that was taught to second-grade students at local YMCAs. The
program teaches aquatic skills such as boating safety, basic rescue and the
fundamentals of swimming. Students have fun, gain self-confidence and
learn skills that could save their lives.
Instructors at the Chester Family YMCA taught 77 students from
Bellwood Elementary, instructors at the Manchester Family YMCA taught
113 students from Chalkley Elementary and instructors from the Southside
Family YMCA taught 78 students from Ettrick Elementary.
The vast majority of students advanced to the next swimming level
during their six-week course. Chalkley and Bellwood elementary schools
had around 15 percent of their total students progress two levels, and
instructors recommended that a couple of the students join the swim team.
Thanks to the YMCA’s program, 268 Chesterfield County students now
possess important swimming skills and water safety knowledge.

recognize good attendance. Six Ettrick Elementary School students from each
grade level were honored as Student of the Year with an off-site banquet. The

A CLOSER LOOK:
In early 2008 America’s Promise, an
organization founded by Gen. Colin Powell
and chaired by his wife, Alma Powell, selected
Chesterfield County for the third consecutive
time as One of the 100 Best Communities
for Young People. The award is based on
extensive review of localities across the country,
along with testimonials from youths and adults
in the communities. With each application the
county has demonstrated that it is continuing
to build resources and to increase opportunities
for young people.
“I believe that we have been recognized
three times because of a culture of
collaboration among our county agencies,
schools, the nonprofit community and
community volunteers,” said Jana Carter,
director of juvenile services. “There would be
no recognition if not for the hard work of all
youth-serving organizations in the community.”
Jana is a longtime member of the CIS Board of
Directors, and CIS is proud to have contributed
to the application filed each time by the county.

Student Assistance Program
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a vital part of the Communities In Schools’ commitment to
the success of students. SAPs are modeled after Employee Assistance Programs (EAP.) Just as EAPs
seek to increase productivity and help employees stay on the job, SAPs are designed to help students
succeed in school and complete their education. They provide a continuum of prevention, education,
support and intervention services that are closely coordinated.
An effective Student Assistance Program is multifaceted and performs five basic functions:
• early identification
• screening
• intervention
• linkage to treatment
• support for change.
• sixth function, prevention, is sometimes included.
A team of professionals makes up the Student Assistance Team, which meets weekly to oversee the
SAP. These professionals may include the school social worker, psychologist, guidance counselor and
diagnostician, the public health nurse and a school administrator, as well as others from the community
such as a representative from the Department of Mental Health and nonprofit organizations such as
Family Lifeline. The CIS site coordinator serves as the facilitator.
During the 2007-08 school year CIS served 616 students with 331 students assigned case
managers. Behavioral problems were found to be a cause in 35 interventions, family issues were
involved in 88 cases and attendance problems were a cause in 42 interventions. Of the 331
interventions, case managers found 288 to be helpful and that the majority of students followed
through with their recommended services and improved their situations with attendance issues,
academic difficulties, financial hardship and other problems.

Faith Community Contributions
The local faith community is a dedicated supporter of Communities In Schools. More than 25 faith
organizations donate their time and resources to the students in CIS. Members have volunteered as mentors,
donated school supplies, helped during school events and supplied teachers with morale boosters.
Examples of supportive programs that specific churches have participated in include Southminster
Presbyterian Church, which provided funds and members volunteered as mentors. Chester United Methodist
Church has a unique partnership with Perrymont Middle School: Members volunteer each week mentoring
and providing other support. Salisbury Presbyterian sponsored a special day at Perrymont Middle School with
many volunteers and also provided landscaping materials and supplies.
Bon Air United Methodist Church has a formal mission with Chalkley Elementary called the Chalkley
Connection. Members have donated school supplies, books, toys, Ukrop’s gift certificates and field day
T-shirts to name a few items. Members also gave more than 1,052 hours of volunteer time, assisting afterschool programs, mentoring and participating in school programs.
These faith communities have chosen to fulfill their mission in Chesterfield County, and the impact of their
support is felt in every CIS student and teacher. We thank these organizations; without their involvement, CIS
could not exist.
