Black History Month provides an excellent opportunity to explore and learn about various issues. it is important to remember that "Black History" is American history," we should sit back and think about Black History as a teachable moment of Do's and Don'ts. Some years, Black History Month seems more crucial than ever.
In 2021, Joe Biden said, " Honor the history and achievements of Black Americans and reflect on the centuries of struggle that have brought us to this time of reckoning, redemption, and hope."

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, Emergent Bilingual (EB), 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!
