WISD Parent & Family Engagement
Waller ISD (WISD) is dedicated to building strong relationships and strengthening partnerships with families to work together in promoting high student achievement. We know that parents and families want to make school a better place for children to learn and grow, no matter their race, religion, or socioeconomic status. Research proves that students with involved parents and families are more likely to:- attend school regularly
- earn high grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs
- pass their classes, earn credits, and be promoted
- graduate and go on to post-secondary education
The Parent & Family Engagement webpage is designed to connect, build capacity, and provide resources for parents, families, and students. Your questions and comments are welcome.
