Title I Parent Engagement Policy

Satanta Grade School Title I Parent Engagement Policy

Annual Parent Meeting

Satanta Grade School will hold an annual parent meeting at which time the Title I program and the Title I requirements including the rights of parents to be involved are explained.

Regularly Scheduled Meetings

The Title I teacher(s) and school principal will offer regularly scheduled meetings to provide parents of participating children opportunities to develop suggestions, to share experiences with other parents of participating children, and assist in decisions relating to the education of their children. Flexible times for meetings will be arranged to allow parents of participating children opportunities to receive assistance in reviewing and making suggestions for the Title I program.

Parents will receive timely information about the school performance profile, their child’s assessment results, and test interpretation. Parents are to receive a description and explanations about the school curriculum, types of assessments used to measure progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet.

School-Parent Compact

Teachers and parents will sign a year School-Parent Compact outlining ways that parents and teachers are responsible for supporting student learning. The Title I teacher will keep on file a signed compact for each Title I student.

Building the Capacity for Involvement

Staff materials and training will be provided on the value and usefulness of the contributions of parents. This training will instruct all school staff in how to reach out to, communicate with, and work with parents of participating children as equal partners.

The school will coordinate and integrate parent involvement programs and activities with other school programs and community-based programs, organizations, and businesses that include a role for parents of participating children and a role for community partners.

The school will conduct activities designed to help parents of participating children become full partners in the education of their children including reasonable support for parental involvement requests and accessibility to parents with limited English proficiency and with disabilities. Information and school profiles should be provided in a language and form parents of participating children understand.

National Standards for Family-School Partnerships

Welcoming all families in the school community
