The Vidor ACE (Afterschool Center on Education) Program, is run with funding from the Texas Education Agency for a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant. It will include an array of educational opportunities not offered to students before, with a strong focus on academic achievement and parental involvement.
Activities on all campuses will include a snack, physical activity, tutoring, and enrichment. Parents/ guardianswill fill out a registration form to enroll their children in the program, which will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. This will be a program with amazing opportunities for the youth of Vidor ISD. The learning will complement what the students do during the school day, but there will be time for many hands-on activities that simply cannot be accomplished during the regular school day. Students will also have many opportunities for community service projects through their classes, and there will be lots of opportunities for parents to attend programs.
Parent Centers on all 7 VISD campuses...
It is the goal
of Vidor ISD to be full partners with parents in the education
of our students. Parents can shape their child's attitude toward
school by making their home a good place to learn by building
a relationship with teachers and by showing an interest in their
child's instructional activities and homework.
One of the
keys to improve student performance in our district has been
the level of parental involvement. It is a goal of Vidor ISD
to provide resources and training to the parents of our students
enabling them to be more effective partners in the education
of their children.
Each campus center will be a community resource center for parents to obtain
a wealth of free educational materials. Some of the resources available are skill workbooks, educational games, and reference
materials to help parents who are seeking additional practice
materials for their children.
