PARENTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE - MAR. 2023

The purpose of the Parent and Family Institute is to provide parents with the strategies, skills, support and resources necessary to help their child excel in primary, secondary, and post-secondary education, and to increase parent involvement in their child's education. With this in mind, Desert Heights Elementary School subscribes to Parent Institute News to provide our DHES families with monthly activity calendars and newsletters as another resource to support our families and students.
