Open Classroom

As a Title I school we:

• work with parents and guardians to understand and navigate the school system,
• share information about the standards for learning determined by the state, the materials and programs we use to teach those standards, and the tests we use to show how students are progressing, and
• inform you about your child’s academic progress throughout the year.

Communication with parents and community is a focus of our school and we value the different ways parents contribute to the success of their children. To enhance the way parents are already supporting their children’s academic success at home, we will offer materials and ideas that guardians might additionally use.

We also want to inform you that parents and guardians have the right to request specifics about the qualifications of their child’s teachers. If your child’s teacher is not considered Highly Qualified as defined by the federal government, we will notify you.

Parents will be involved in making school decisions, writing school plans, and assessing the effectiveness of school programs. They will also work with the school to plan Parent Involvment activities. Please contact the front office for more information on how to be a part of this important work. We need your ideas!!

Our school has a variety of formal ways to develop the home/school partnership such as Parent/Guardian Co-oping, Back to School Picnic, Parent-Teacher-Kid Conferences, School Community Council (SCC), community events, committees, school newsletters, and other such opportunities. We look forward to working with you this year!! Please download the Home/School Compact which describes the commitments we are making to you, to see your child succeed.
