We will take the following measures to promote and support parents as an important foundation of the school in order to strengthen the school and reach our school goals.

We will:

• Solicit parent input concerning the means by which the school and parents can form a partnership to achieve the Title l program’s objectives, as well as allow time for school staff to respond to parent’s recommendations. All meetings will be promoted through  personal  letters,  telephone calls, news media, flyers, etc.
• Ensure that all parents are invited to the annual Title l meeting at a convenient time for them, so that we may explain the programs and activities provided through Title l, Federal guidelines, and to understand the role of all parents in the education of their children.  
• Provide parents with timely  information and  offer flexible  meetings for  parents;  as  early  as  7:45 a.m. and as late as 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, to afford parents the opportunity to attend meetings according to their home and work schedules.  
• Partner with Head Start and Early Reading programs by conducting joint staff meetings for parents and sending school information about parent engagement activities to help prepare parents and their child for kindergarten and improve school transition.
• Work with our staff to develop relevant trainings and helpful presentations to educate our staff on the importance of parental involvement.  
• Make  available  necessary  materials  and  handouts  for  parents  at  conferences,  meetings,  and activities to help parents work with their child to improve their child’s achievement.  
• Use our Partners in Education and Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) to improve the awareness of activities and events listed in the school parental involvement policy.
• Offer literacy and technology classes for parents to help further enhance their various educational levels.  
• Share information on the school blog and school newsletter for parents to understand the school’s academic standards and assessments as well as the ways parents can monitor their child’s progress and work with educators.
• Collect feedback from parents at all events by providing input cards and posting suggestions on the school’s website to respond to parental requests for family engagement activities.
