Welcome to McAllen ISD's Parental Involvement Program Welcome to McAllen ISD's Parental Involvement Program. Raising the next generation is a shared responsibility. Working together, families, communities and schools; students are more successful and the entire community benefits. Our program offers various opportunities at various locations within the district for parents to learn new and different approaches on raising a family, family health, family communication and other matters regarding their child’s academic journey here at McAllen ISD. Each campus has an assigned Parent & Family Engagement Specialist. Here at Roosevelt Elementary, Mrs. Vanessa Lane is our assigned Parent & Family Training Specialist. She is assigned to this campus on Monday and Wednesdays. Feel free to stop by for a visit

The Benefits of Parent Involvement According to research, the most accurate predictor of a student's achievement in school is not income or social status but the extent to which that student's family is able to: Create a home environment that encourages learning Express high (but not unrealistic) expectations for their children's achievement and future careers Become involved in their children's education at school and in the community   Benefits of Parental Involvement for the Children Children tend to achieve more, regardless of ethnic or racial background, socioeconomic status, or parents' education level. Children generally achieve better grades, test scores, and attendance. Children consistently complete their homework. Children have better self-esteem, are more self-disciplined, and show higher aspirations and motivation toward school. Children's positive attitude about school often results in improved behavior in school and less suspension for disciplinary reasons
