Title 1 Family Engagement

IMG_3472

Parents and family members of all students are welcomed and encouraged to become engaged with their child’s school and education. Students succeed in and out of school when schools and families work together to support learning. Family engagement in a child's learning is the largest predictor of student success. Families can support learning by:

  • Creating a home environment that encourages learning. 
  • Expressing high and realistic expectations for their child’s success and future careers. 
  • Being engaged in your children’s education at school and in the community.

The best way to be an engaged family is by partnering with your child’s school. Review the District's Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy.
