Regardless
of income or background, parent involvement makes a difference in student
success. Studies have shown that students with involved parents earn higher
grades and test scores, enroll in higher-level programs, and pass their classes
and are promoted over those without direct parent involvement. When parents are
involved, students show higher attendance rates, better social skills and higher
graduation rates with post-secondary education in their future. Rockwall ISD is
committed to helping parents learn the skills and habits that result in greater
student performance.
Rockwall schools exhibit great diversity in student body population. For
example, families of Rockwall ISD students speak 47 languages other than
English. For this reason, English proficiency both for students and for parents
is key to success.
The Parent Education & Resource Center in Rockwall provides a centralized outreach location
for family literacy services to empower parents of English language learners
with skills and knowledge so that students can achieve academic success. The center features regular classes in
English as a Second Language (ESL), parenting, discipline and study skills.
