Family Engagement ๐จโ๐จโ๐งโ๐ฆ
Our goal is to provide workshops, resources, and events that are helpful and beneficial to our families. We will continue to provide you with opportunities to stay informed and engaged.
What is family engagement and why is it important?
Family engagement is a practice in which families* and school personnel collaborate to support and improve the learning and development of children.
February 2024 has 29 days: It's a Leap Year.
WHY?
Our planet takes approximately 365.25 days to orbit the sun once. It's that . 25 that creates the need for a leap year every four years. During non-leap years, aka common years โ like 2022 โ the calendar doesn't take into account the extra quarter of a day required by Earth to complete a single orbit.
2023-2024 Houston County Title 1 Parent Satisfaction Survey
Hello Families!
This year has certainly proved that we are all in this together! Your opinion is very important to us, so we are asking you to to complete this short survey, which will provide us with feedback regarding your experience with the Family Engagement Program at your child's school. If you have children at multiple schools, please complete a separate survey for each school. We will use the results to help us plan and improve our Family Engagement opportunities for next school year. The results will be posted on the district and each Title I school's website later this spring. We appreciate your feedback and continuous support!
