Instead of having to wait to get home to see their parents, they can just walk right around the corner to their classroom, that’s because their parents work at the school as teachers.

Unlike other parents, these adults get to see their children during the school day instead of just at home.

This is geometry teacher Ms. Lisa Schuckman’s first year teaching here and she gets to share the school with her son, Cole.

“I taught at Heritage High School in Frisco for three years and 13 years in Illinois,” Ms. Schuckman said. 

Cole likes being at school with his mom who’s in room 118.

“It’s kind of interesting because people ask me if I can get their answers,” Cole said.

Ms. Amy Gibson is an attendance clerk here who started this January. Her daughter, Aubrey, is a junior.

“She knows everyone including my teachers, so she knows all about my assignments and when I’m getting behind, but she’s always right there when I need her,” Aubrey said.

Ms. Schuckman benefits from being in the same school district where her children attend.

“Being at the same school allows me to be on the same schedule as my kids, it also allows me to be close to them if they need something, and knowing the culture of the school helps with knowing how to help my children if needed. This is the second time that it has happened as I taught at the same school as my daughter attended back in Illinois. I taught at Normal Community High School and my daughter also attended that school during her high school years. She loved it as she could come ask for snacks and I loved being available to her during the day,” Ms. Schuckman said.

Cole has a love-hate relationship with his parental situation.

“Some pros are that I get to get snacks from her whenever I want. Also whenever she orders food, she always gets me something to eat, but people tell her everything I do at school. Also my friends have her as a teacher,” Cole said. 

Ms. Gibson wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I like it! It’s nice seeing my child during the day,” Ms. Gibson said.

Lunch time offers perks to having a parent at your school.

“Me and my mom switch off getting each other food at lunchtime sometimes. She also keeps my snacks in her cabinet, so I can get one whenever I need it. I love my mom and she loves working here, so I love her being here,” Aubrey said.
