Graduate from School.

In Mexico we would have wished to have as many opportunities as we have here.  Put in your effort to graduate. We’re here to motivate them.

Work hard, take advantage of his studies.  Field work is hard, cold, have to show up every day anyway.

Improve statistics = lower SES…help them so they don’t have low SES in the future.

Nothing wrong with field work, but we want more for them students.

Not sure what to study but I want to do something different.  I had really bad grades before 9th grade, now I have a good grades.  I have to have more opportunities and a career in the future.

I want to focus on school so I get a good job, graduate.  I have to show up and I want my parents to be proud of me.  I want to start my own family.  I want to make sure I’m earning my credits.  May want to graduate early.

Mechanic, not sure, doesn’t want to work outside.

Before 9th grade, didn’t understand much English. Some students give up, but he is motivated by it.

What do we(parents) do when they’re not at grade level?

Include parents – 3 families, 3 sons, Spanish @ student led conference. Teacher must be available.

Must be an intentional effort to include parents. If we don’t work together, it doesn’t get better.

All messages in English.  I would like them in Spanish (Tardy, late to school)

SPED example –

Students receive SPED, case manager is providing a lot of support.  Really helping him.  Mom notices a teacher isn’t helping, I make sure to tell the teachers to help.  How can I help.  I don’t want him to be struggling.  Working to do better than her parents.  She didn’t get a lot of help from school or parents in high school.
Dropout rate is better – necessary to stay on students so they stay in school.

Graduates have improved.

Differences between staff and student demographics.  When I see the Hispanics % of staff for 20-21, I wonder about previous years.  Families of Hispanic heritage if they’ve been I the same issues, use your influence to support and help families.  We need to see examples that will help. Families sometimes don’t understand what comes home because of language.
