Returning Members

Teachers and School Officials who have been members in previous seasons (years) have been deactivated as part of the website roll over in preparation for the 2025 season and will need to complete the form as a Returning Member in order to nominate students. This can be done in the Teachers & School Officials Hub on the CIS Website. You will need to renew your membership for each sport you wish to nominate students for. 

New Members

Teachers and School Officials who are nominating students for the first time will create their own membership, by completing the form as a New Member. After this has been completed once, you can complete the form as a Returning Member if nominating students for other sports. This can be done in the Teachers & School Officials Hub on the CIS Website.
