Parent Program

Building Resilience in Children and Teens

Parents, mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 25 at 6:30pm for a Parents-Only presentation sponsored by the PTA. Come hear Vanita Halliburton speak on the topic of Building Resilience in Children and Teens. The program will cover skills for teaching youth how to navigate stress and disappointment, to use adversity as a building block for resiliency, and to bounce back from setbacks.

All parents/guardians from Renner MS, Frankford MS, and Shepton HS are invited to join us at Shepton HS (5505 W. Plano Pkwy). Mrs. Halliburton is the co-founder and executive chairman of the Grant Halliburton Foundation, a non-profit established in 2006 following the suicide death of her son, Grant.

Details can be found on the event flyer below:

We LOVE our volunteers!

Be A Shepton Volunteer!

As our children get older in school, it seems that the school doesn’t need as much help as they used to. Actually they still need us, just in different ways. Do you have an hour once a month, once every 3 or 4 months, once a year? We have volunteer opportunities that fit all of these needs and more. Sign up to help in a variety of ways by checking your preferences on our PTSA Toolkit or sign up to be “Ready to Help” when the opportunity arises. You may also contact volunteers@sheptonptsa.org with any questions.

IMPORTANT: You must be a cleared volunteer to volunteer at the school.

Be sure to complete your PISD Volunteer Application for 2019-2020 after July 1.

Renewals must be done annually.
