Recognition of Visit Your Child In School Day (Student Services and Federal Programs Division)

The National Council of Negro Women, Inc. will recognize the schools with exemplary parent involvement and participation in the annual Visit Your Child In School Day, held on February 13, 2008. This organization awards six plaques to the schools that have the highest percentage of parents visiting the schools based on enrollment. The Visit Your Child In School Day is an incentive to successfully involve families, schools and communities to support student achievement. The plaques will be awarded to the following schools for the 2007-2008 school year: Thonotosassa Elementary School, Broward Elementary School, Ferrell Middle School, Young Middle Magnet School, Hillsborough High School and Newsome High School.

Funding for this recognition program is from the National Council of Negro Women, Inc., who conduct local fundraisers. The district provides support for notifying the school and collecting data as part of the Full Service Schools initiative.
