CAPROCK LONGHORN P.O.S.S.E. BELIEF STATEMENT

Through free membership in the LONGHORN Parents of Success Student Education Program (P.O.S.S.E.), parents will have the opportunity to become a greater force in the education of their children. The main idea behind the program is to help change attitudes that have a negative effect on children and education. The organization will work in a partnership with the school to help foster a positive, safe learning environment. We believe that parent support can make a positive difference in the education of youthful minds.

·  We believe that there is a need for limits, guidelines, and expectations to promote healthy development.
