Aldine ISD Schools to Host Virtual Open House Sessions

Disponible en: Español

Beginning this week, Aldine ISD schools will host virtual open house sessions for families. Instead of the traditional in-person showcase campuses are adapting to a virtual environment to comply with social distancing guidelines. Each campus will host its own unique virtual open house.

Families will have an opportunity to meet with their student’s teacher, hear from campus leaders, and campus Family and Community Engagement (FACE) liaisons.

“Our campus FACE liaisons are working to create partnerships with our Aldine families,” Dr. Martha Escalante, executive director of family and community engagement, explained. “Open house will serve as an opportunity to highlight the benefits of building strong partnerships between the campus and student families.”

During the open house, families can choose to virtually visit with their child’s teacher or receive Schoology, Transportation, Home Access Center (HAC) support from campus staff. The Family and Community Engagement team is focused on connecting families with support to help improve student outcomes.

Additionally, this month of November is celebrated as National Parent Engagement Month. The celebration recognizes the contributions of parents and the important roles parents play in a child’s education. In addition to the open house sessions, the FACE department will continue to highlight the many opportunities available for educators, families, and community members to engage in partnerships to increase student achievement. In addition to coordinating Open House, the campus FACE liaisons have created electronic newsletters to share school and community news and events, hosted workshops and academic nights for the entire family, and secured donations from community and business partners to support family engagement initiatives.
