HQPK Family Engagement Plan
In accordance with House Bill 3 High-Quality Prekindergarten guidelines, Splendora ISD has created a High-Quality Prekindergarten Family Engagement Plan to promote partnership among our school, families, and community and ensure successful outcomes for our youngest learners in prekindergarten programs. Together, we share responsibility for encouraging and supporting initiatives, activities, and practices that enhance student learning and achievement.
