The Youth Coordinator on each CIS-SP campus maintains an ongoing case file documenting each student's progress. Sign in sheets and attendance rosters are required for all activities and events. Mid -year and end -of -year surveys are sent to students, parents, teachers, administrators, and other school staff and faculty.
