Engaging Futures Together: Parent Nights for 5th and 8th Graders

To foster a collaborative educational environment transition for students, the Counseling Department in Victoria ISD is thrilled to announce a series of Parent Nights for 5th and 8th graders. These events are a cornerstone of our commitment to involving families in the educational journey, a key aspect identified in the feedback from our community stakeholders.

Why Attend?

Parent Nights are more than just meetings; they are opportunities to build a shared understanding of your child's educational path. Attendance is crucial as it:

  • Facilitates open communication between parents and educators.

  • Provides insights into academic and extracurricular programs.

  • Encourages a partnership approach to student development and well-being.

  • Aligns home and school expectations and goals.
