From the school

"Chaparral High School strongly believes that parent and community involvement is essential to the school improvement process.

"At least one parent sits on each of our standing school-wide committees. In fact, Chaparral is the only high school in southern Nevada with a chartered parent-teacher-student association.

"Our efforts to communicate with parents include, but are not limited to, personal interactions, bilingual written correspondence, and technology-based correspondence.

"Personal interactions include regular PTSA meetings, monthly bilingual PAC meetings, parent-teacher conferences, new student orientations for students and parents, ninth grade academy parent nights, smaller learning community recruiting nights, AVID parent nights, financial aid seminars, off-site parent/community meetings, and individual phone calls by teachers and other school personnel.

"Parents are also kept informed through flyers, mailings, the school newsletter, student handbooks, course catalogs, course expectations handouts, the school Web site, our new school e-newsletter, our autodialer program, and the internet-based EduLink InTouch system, and the Edulink automated calling system."
