Dropout prevention and recovery is a priority for Wraparound Services.  To ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed, we utilize research-based strategies to combat dropout rates and support students in re-engaging with their education.  We partner with Everyday Labs and ProUnitas to quickly identify at-risk students and provide targeted support to address the root causes of disengagement. We partner with other central office departments and campus leaders to create a supportive school environment. According to the U.S. Department of Education, students who feel connected to their school are more likely to stay engaged and graduate.  Our commitment to dropout prevention and recovery is rooted in a deep understanding of the challenges students face and a dedication to implementing proven strategies that make a real difference.

Wraparound Services offers campus support to help students and their families understand Houston ISD and TEA attendance policies. Our team focuses on meeting students' individual needs, and collaborating with families, community organizations, and professional services to remove academic, social, and emotional barriers to student success.

Children of Incarcerated Parents (COIP) face unique emotional and social challenges. Wraparound Services Student Assistance Programming targets mentorship opportunities and ensuring students and their families have access to community resources that address their needs.  This ensures that students have the support they need to succeed both personally and academically.

To connect your child to specialized mentoring, please submit a Student Assistance Form (SAF).  Select "Other", and in the details indicate that you would like your child to be connected to a mentor.  

Available support includes:

• Mentoring
• Basic Needs (Food, Clothing/Uniforms, Transportation Assistance)
• Health Care Access

For more information or to contact a Wraparound team member regarding COIP programming, please email Paula Roberson at Proberso@HoustonISD.org .
