Parent Guides offer detailed look at what children are learning in each grade level
Parents can get a detailed look at what their child is learning in each grade level throughout the school year through the district’s new Parent Guides, which are aimed at empowering parents to become more involved in their child’s education.
The guides give parents important information about what their child should know and be able to do at each grade level and include activities that parents can do at home to further their child’s learning. They cover academics, social and emotional learning, parent empowerment, college and career readiness, important dates, and tools for success. The guides were produced by Communications in collaboration with Curriculum, Career Readiness, College Success, FACE, and Social & Emotional Learning.
For elementary, there will be four guides total for the year – one for each nine-week period: first nine weeks, second nine weeks, third nine weeks, and fourth nine weeks. For middle and high school, there will be two guides total for the year – one for each semester: fall and spring.
The guides are available for download at HoustonISD.org/ParentGuides.
Currently, the first nine weeks, second nine weeks, and fall guides for all grades are posted. The rest of the guides will be posted as they become available throughout the year, and an ASM will be posted when they are.
Schools and departments are encouraged to download, print and distribute these guides to parents or make them available electronically.
- Consider placing in parent packets or weekly folders that go home with students.
- Distribute at school events.
- Encourage teachers to distribute at parent-teacher conferences.
