Parents-Our Most Important Partners

HISD Parent Rights and Responsibilities

Adequate Yearly Progress Information from HISD

Your support, encouragement, and participation in your child's education are very important. Scarborough values the partnership between schools and families as we work together for the benefit of your children.  Your input and involvement in your child's education is the key to success in school.  If you have questions, please feel free to call the school or make an appointment with your child's teacher.  If, after your conference with the teacher, you need more assistance, call the school secretary to make an appointment to see the principal or assistant principal.  We welcome you as partners.

Parent Responsibilities
Parents' responsibilities in Behavior Intervention are also outlined in the Code of Conduct.  Listed below are other ways that we feel you can help encourage your students to be a successful student.

Volunteers
Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) is a district wide program that invites parents, community, leaders, and other concerned individuals into the schools to assist teachers in meeting needs of all students.  Individuals can volunteer at home or at school.  VIPS must fill out a one-time registration form with the district.  Also, a Scarborough form must be filled out each year and is kept on file at the school.
