Wheelock Elementary School

Parent Participation Plan

OUR MISSION

As part of our mission to nurture, develop, and inspire every child, every day, we know we are most successful when home and school work together.

Partnering with families to support positive student behavior, regular attendance, and strong learning habits—especially daily reading at home and monitoring student grades - are just a few ways we can ensure success for all Lubbock ISD students.

LEARNING AT HOME

Families can:

• Read with your child everyday for 15-20 minutes and talk about what they are reading

• Check your child’s grades weekly and contact the school with questions

Schools will: 

• Share reading expectations and tips

• Keep grades up to date 

• Provide support to families to access and navigate the gradebook system

ATTENDANCE

Families can:

• Make sure your child gets enough sleep

• Help your child arrive at school on time

• Let the school know if your child will be absent

Schools will: 

• Share the importance of daily attendance

• Contact families when attendance becomes a concern

• Help families solve attendance challenges

BEHAVIOR

Families can:

• Talk with your child about school rules and expectations

• Praise your child for positive behavior
