Chisum High School

“Where there’s a dedication to education.”

Get Involved at CISD

In study after study the results are evident:  when parents are involved in their children’s education at home, they perform better in school.  Parental involvement improves student achievement, reduces absences, improves behavior and restores confidence among parents in their children’s education.

It’s simple to be involved with your child’s education at Chisum High School.  Easy and important first steps are;

• establish schoolwork as a priority over activities like television and games,
• set aside time each night for homework or studying,
• helping with homework,
• encouraging respect, hard work and responsibility and
• asking about school: the subjects, the teachers, their friends, everything.

Ask your child about school every day.  Ask about homework and check that it gets done.  Find out about upcoming tests and assignment due dates.  Talk to children about their classes and your expectations.

Set Goals Together

Set high but attainable academic goals with your children and encourage progress toward and attainment of those goals.  It is important that your student knows that you value education and high achievement.  Nothing teaches like example. 

Visit Our School

Visit the High School and get to know the teachers.  The importance of parental involvement with the school is second only to involvement in the home.  Involvement with the school includes:  coming to open house, scheduling parent-teacher conferences and attending school events.  Visit the Teacher’s Profiles on Parent Square and keep up with your student’s grades and absences with our online grade book.  Most importantly don’t hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s education here at Chisum High.

Sincerely,

Clint Miller
