Stewart 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
Reach out to the school with concerns

Schools will:

Clearly explain behavior expectations
Keep families informed about behavior progress
Recognize and celebrate positive behavior

Dear Lubbock ISD families & staff,

The Texas Education Agency requires all public schools in Texas to provide at least 75,600 minutes of instruction for students each school year. Any time a school day is canceled, started late or dismissed early, the district evaluates if there is a need for makeup days to ensure we meet the instructional minutes requirement for the school year.

After considering our three recent snow days (Friday, Monday and Tuesday of this week) and our late-start on Wednesday due to weather, we found that we will not need to make any schedule changes for our elementary and middle school students to meet the requirement. However, to ensure that we complete the required number of instructional minutes for our high school students, late-start Wednesdays are canceled for the rest of the spring semester, beginning this Wednesday (Feb. 4).

With this change, we will meet the instructional minutes requirement for all students across the district. This means that we will not need to use the student holiday on March 23 or the student and staff holiday on April 6 as makeup days – for now, these will remain as holidays.

If we experience more inclement weather this spring that requires cancelations, delays or early dismissals, we will reevaluate at that time to determine if schedule changes and/or make up days are needed.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Amanda Castro-Crist in our Communications & Community Relations department at (806) 219-0014.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kathy Rollo
Superintendent, Lubbock ISD
