District to Provide Virtual Informative Sessions on How to Stay Engaged in Students’ Education

Disponible en:

With schools closed due to COVID-19, family involvement is more critical than ever.

The Aldine Independent School District working under our new “normal,” continues to develop ways to communicate and connect with families while schools are closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department helps the District connect with families. For those unfamiliar with FACE, the department focuses on:

• providing additional resources and support to each campus,
• empowering families to become strong advocates for their children,
• increasing school staff capacity to connect, engage, and partner with families effectively,
• creating opportunities for parent leaders to engage directly with the Superintendent to inform and validate district strategies,
• developing more systems and opportunities for parents to be active partners at the campus level, including strong PTOs/PTAs, Parent Ambassador Programs, and volunteer opportunities.

In August and September, FACE will provide virtual information sessions for families in English and Spanish.

Please see the information below on how families can join the online sessions via Zoom.
