Canutillo ISD parents are valued partners in our district, where we believe that successful learning is best achieved through collaborative partnerships with parents, families, positive adult and student role models, and all areas of the community.
Parents help to ensure the highest levels of student learning through strong partnerships. Excellence in our school district is directly related to parent involvement and volunteer efforts. Reading to children, serving as guest speakers, assisting with PTO and on school-based improvement committees are a few of the many volunteer opportunities that await parents in Canutillo ISD. With ten schools and several service facilities, CISD appreciates the valuable time parents donate to building brighter futures for our students.
In addition to the resources found on our website, we encourage parents to contact their children’s teachers and campus office for more information and partner opportunities.
