The national office of Communities In Schools® (CIS®) partnered with Communities In Schools of Houston to launch the “Ready, Set, Learn” Back-to-School Tour at Houston ISD’s Forest Brook Middle School. The event marked the start of the new school year with family activities, school supply giveaways, and community engagement.

The Saturday celebration was supported by national sponsor Whataburger , along with local partners H-E-B and Soles4Souls . As part of a four-city tour, the initiative aims to provide resources and encouragement to students and families while emphasizing the importance of daily attendance. The effort is aligned with CIS’s national “Being Present Matters” campaign, which addresses challenges such as chronic absenteeism to help students succeed.
