Dressed to Learn

Dressed to Learn is a partnership with LISD Council of PTAs and Communities in Schools of North Texas (CISNT).  This program was established in 2004 for the benefit of Lewisville ISD students needing basic clothing items to ensure students arrive at school Dressed to Learn!  Any child in LISD who is determined to need a helping hand may benefit from this program. We rely on the confidential assessment of a principal, counselor, school nurse or teacher to recognize that a student is in need. CISNT Case Managers are working alongside LISD Counselors at the following schools – Lakeland ES, Central ES, Hedrick ES, Peter’s Colony ES, Delay MS, and are the main recipient of our drives. However a campus professional may contact the CISNT Case Manager at any of these campuses to discuss their situational needs.

Who can help?  Everyone!   PTAs, families, businesses, youth groups, student councils, scout troops, sports teams, booster clubs……..
