In an effort to provide students with the encouragement and support to return to school, the Pasadena Independent School District will be holding its “Walk for Success” from 9 a.m.- 12 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12.

Pasadena ISD administrators, faculty and staff members will be visiting homes of high school students who have not re-enrolled for the 2009-2010 school year. Each high school will have teams of teachers and staff that will be visiting the homes of these students that will be encouraging them to return to school.

Through the initiative, students will be re-enrolled in school as well as provided various campus and district opportunities to prepare to pass the TAKS test for students who may not have passed the exam. During the walk, district personnel will also be calling students who have not returned to school.

“Through these efforts, we are hoping to reach all students who have not been accounted for at this time,” said Troy McCarley, Pasadena ISD associate superintendent for campus development. “Our goal is to ensure that all students have the opportunities to succeed. This is one way where campus and district personnel can come together to ensure that all students are re-enrolled and successful.”
