The Harlingen School District’s Parental Involvement/Dropout Prevention Program is responsible for providing the community with programs that keep parents involved in their child’s education and students making education their priority. The program consists of several departments that strive to make education the key to success. The Attendance Officers monitor the district’s daily attendance and completion rate. Parent Educators supervise parent centers on each campus, involving parents to volunteer and take interest in their children’s school. The New Directions and New Horizons Programs are implemented at our middle schools and high schools and keep students’ interest in education a priority in life. The 0-3 Year Program, provides a parent facilitator that works with parents of children 0 to 3 years of age. The Family Learning Centers are located in five housing developments in Harlingen. They provide tutoring services to the residents and neighborhood children.
