I have had the opportunity to attend Open House on all campuses except one, and all other campuses had better parent attendance than Pecos High School. Zavala and Crockett Middle Schools, which have only one grade per campus, as opposed to four at high school, had three times more parents in attendance. I'm not sure why parent attendance was so low, but I feel as parents, we need to do better. By attending Open House we are showing that we support our students and our teachers. I believe this is very important.
Teachers spend countless hours annually working with our students.
Teaching is not always an easy job, especially these days. In closing, I want to encourage parents who did not attend their child's Open House, for whatever reason, to please try to do so in the future. Attending Open House allows you, as a parent, to see and hear first hand, how your child is doing in class and provides an opportunity to get to know your child's teacher. The teacher and your child will appreciate it and you will be glad you went. If it is impossible for you to attend Open House, you may schedule an appointment with your child's teacher.
