We welcome your participation, suggestions, and comments. We have copies of the Parent Involvement Policy and the School-Parent Compact  available at our Title One meetings. Your input is requested prior to finalizing these documents. Copies of these are made available in the front office and on our school website.

Parental Involvement

 Parental Involvement

Parental involvement is an integral part of the Title I program. Parents are encouraged to become partners in helping their children achieve and become actively involved in all aspects of the process of the Title I program, from the writing of the plan to its implementation and evaluation. 

A strong connection between the home and the school is a key element in student success. Materials, strategies, and help from teachers are available to parents of students receiving Title I services. Opportunities for active parent participation should include, but not be limited to, Parent Workshops, School-Parent Compact, School Improvement / Title I Planning Team, conferences, newsletters and more.

The Every Student Succeeds Act legislation requires schools to utilize a portion of their Title I funds to support parent involvement. Parents should contact Kalan S. Rogers with any comments or suggestions regarding the school’s parent involvement expenditures.
