Parents’ Association (CISPA) is run by
dedicated parents who volunteer their
time and skills to champion its three C’s
mission: Community, Communication,
and Curriculum support.

CISPA works directly with administrative staff, teachers,
parents, and students to help foster collaboration and
build community. All parents or guardians of CDNIS
students are automatically CISPA members, and
participation in CISPA is always welcome.

During the pandemic, the Family Fun Fair and the Lunar
New Year Fair could not be celebrated, but the CDNIS
community came together in many other ways, online and
in person.
