Stacie Perez, Graduating Senior at Innovations High School

     Stacie is at the brink of graduating from high school.  She is also a teen mother. She says she loves her teachers and that the Parent Teacher Home Visits showed her even more that her teachers care about her.  

     She likes the visits because she feels that parents should be informed about what’s going on with their child and what the parent can do to help their child in school. Stacie says since the Parent Teacher Home Visit her mom has become more involved with her schooling. She says her mom encourages her to attend school no matter what, unless she is very sick. 
     Her mom monitors her more closely now and wants her to graduate. Stacie says that she likes the fact that her mom is more involved about school and pushing her to do her best. She says that is what she needs sometimes in order to get things done.

     Now her mom has a phone app called the infinite campus  that lets her know exactly what is going on daily.  She says she hope that when her child grows up she will have Parent Teacher Home Visits as a way to inspire her and her child to succeed in school and build a relationship with the teacher.
