HOW YOU CAN
GET INVOLVED
Active Parents = Successful Students
The rewards for getting involved in your child’s school are endless –
doing something meaningful, spending time with enjoyable people who
care about children, sensing accomplishment, learning a new skill, and
recognition for your service are just a few. But, an active parent’s greatest
reward is a successful student.
TAKE 5
Take 5 minutes every day to talk to your student about these 5 important things:
1. What is your student's goal?
2. What did you do today to help achieve
your student's goal?
3. How did you make character count
today?
4. What can you do tomorrow to achieve
excellence?
5. Encourage your child in a very specific
and genuine way.
VOLUNTEER
One of the best ways to get involved in your
child’s life is to volunteer at school. Whether
it is becoming an Nacogdoches ISD Room
Parent, offering to help with a big project,
or volunteering for a one-day special event,
everyone’s contributions help our children to
be successful.

BE A SUPER PARENT
Education is becoming more advanced every year,
so keeping up with your child’s curriculum can be
difficult. Nacogdoches ISD staff and community
leaders team up to host workshops like this one
to help parents get involved in educational issues.
Attending workshops like these will allow for a better
overall school experience for your children and for you.
HAVE SCHOOL SPIRIT
School spirit isn’t just for the kids. Get out and
support your child’s extracurricular programs,
represent the district, and be proud to be a Dragon.
