Graduation doesn’t just happen—it takes intentional support at home.

Here’s what strong parent advocacy looks like:

✔️ Check grades weekly (not just report cards)
✔️ Monitor credits—every class matters

✔️ Ask about interventions early
✔️ Understand testing requirements (EOCs/STAAR)
✔️ Stay connected with teachers & counselors
✔️ Have weekly check-ins with your child

💡 If something feels off… it probably is. Ask questions.

Showing up prepared can change the whole tone of your child's school meeting. Jot down your main concerns, bring clear questions, and keep the focus on your child's needs. Taking notes and asking for clarity helps you stay confident and in control.
