Spring ISD is committed to empowering pregnant and parenting students to succeed academically while managing their unique responsibilities as parents.
Pregnancy Related Services (PRS)
Mission Statement
The mission of Pregnancy Related Services (PRS) in Spring Independent School District is to support pregnant and parenting students by providing resources and assistance that encourage school attendance, improve graduation rates, and foster strong parenting skills. Our services aim to help students navigate the academic, emotional, and physical adjustments required for parenthood.
Services Overview
Spring ISD offers a range of Pregnancy Related Services (PRS), including Compensatory Education Home Instruction (CEHI), to assist eligible students during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This program supports both male and female students as they balance their roles as students and parents, helping them achieve high school graduation and prepare for future college and career goals.
Compensatory Education & Home Instruction (CEHI)
CEHI provides academic support for students confined at home or hospitalized due to medical necessity during pregnancy or postpartum recovery. This instruction is delivered face-to-face by a certified district teacher and ensures students can maintain academic progress while temporarily unable to attend on-campus classes.
