Family Engagement
Family Specialist
Melissa Mendiola
Welcome! I am honored to serve as the Family Specialist at Roosevelt High School, where I have proudly supported our students and families since 2018. My mission is to build strong partnerships between home, school, and the community by connecting families with educational opportunities, community resources, and programs that promote student success.
Throughout the school year, I offer a variety of in-person and virtual workshops designed to support parents and caregivers. Topics include Parenting, Academic Success, Life Skills, General Knowledge, and Health, Safety, and Nutrition. Families are also encouraged to participate in leadership development and community service opportunities through the NEISD Parent Engagement Leadership Academy.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with a minor in Spanish from Sam Houston State University. For more than 34 years, I have served children and families in Bexar County, and I remain passionate about empowering families through education, advocacy, and meaningful community partnerships.
I invite you to explore our monthly Family Engagement Calendar and join us at one of our upcoming workshops or events. I look forward to partnering with you to help every Roosevelt student succeed.
