Paris ISD Opens New Parent Center

 

Paris Independent School District (ISD) recently hosted an exciting soft opening event to introduce its new Parent Center. This initiative, a collaborative effort between local agencies and Paris ISD parents, aims to create a supportive community by offering a wealth of resources and support.

The Parent Center is a dedicated space designed to be a welcoming and supportive environment where parents can access various practical services, information, and assistance. Our mission is to empower parents by providing them with the tools and resources to navigate the educational landscape effectively and enhance their family’s well-being. We collaborate with local agencies to bring expertise and resources on various practical topics, from academic support and mental health services to extracurricular activities and community programs.
