School-Based Parent Involvement Policies
All Title I schools will wholeheartedly embrace parent engagement and involvement. To that end, each school will hold their Annual Title I meetings to inform applicable parents/guardians of programming. Also, schools will always solicit feedback regarding how to better serve parents/guardians. Feedback can be given at any time to your child’s school principal. Furthermore, each school will have regular parent involvement and engagement activities that are available by contacting your child’s school principal.
