Why Do We Have Separate Engagement Activities for Bilingual, Emergent Bilingual, and Immigrant Families?

HEB ISD believes that student achievement for ALL students requires substantial family engagement opportunities. We also believe that families of bilingual students, Emergent Bilingual or (ESL) students, and immigrant students need specialized engagement activities and strategies to overcome language obstacles on their family's educational journey. Family engagement and outreach services for these students and their families in these three groups are available using Title III funds. This newsletter is how we will communicate our activities and resource information. Check back frequently for updates throughout the year!
