Celebrate National Parental Involvement Day with HISD FACE
HISD Family And Community Empowerment (FACE) will be joining schools and educational institutions across the country to celebrate National Parental Involvement Day on Thursday, Nov. 16.
All schools are invited to join the celebration and score some freebies in the process. Campuses across the district have an opportunity to honor and highlight the powerful contributions parents, families, and caregivers provide both at school and home to support student success.
“The goal is to intentionally plan for families to become empowered through engagement via opportunities to make a change that impacts student learning and the community,” said Dr. Michelle Burke, Director for FACE.
