The district recognizes that parents play an extremely important role as their child's first teacher and are valued partners in the educational process. As a result, parents will be included in appropriate decision-making opportunities to support student academic achievement. Partnerships with parents and the community are vital. Therefore, NCISD encourages the participation of parents in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities.

NCISD wants parents to:

• Stay informed about their child's academic well-being through various forms of communication.
• Work in partnership with school staff to help their child achieve at the highest levels.
• Communicate to their child the importance of being prepared for college and a career.
