Title I Parent Involvement Policy

Teacher/Student/Parent Learning Compact

Kamiak Elementary School is committed to the goal of providing quality education for every child. To this end, we want to establish partnerships with parents and with the community. Everyone benefits if Kamiak Elementary School and our families work together to promote high achievement by our children. Neither home nor Kamiak Elementary School can do this job alone. Parents play an extremely important role as their child’s first teachers. Support for their child and of the school is critical to each child’s success.

Kamiak Elementary School recognizes that some students may need the extra assistance available through the Title l program to reach the state’s high academic standards. Kamiak Elementary School intends to include parents in all aspects of the Title I program. The goal is a school-home partnership that will help all students to succeed. 

 

The Kamiak Elementary School Title I program will:

  • Annually develop/revise jointly with parents the Title I parent involvement/procedures and distribute it to parents of participating children. Annually develop/revise with parents the Kamiak Elementary School Teacher – Student – Home Agreement/Compact and distribute it to parents of all Kamiak children.
  • Hold a program Open House during conference weeks in October and February to which all parents of participating children in the Title I program shall be invited and encouraged to attend. Parents will be given an opportunity to learn about the program and ask questions about their child’s experience.
  • Provide information about curriculum and forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet.
  • Provide reports to parents on their child’s progress at each district reporting period.
  • Involve parents in an annual evaluation of the program.
  • Use findings of the annual evaluation to design strategies for more effective parent involvement.
  • Identify barriers to participation by parents who are economically disadvantaged, are disabled, have limited English proficiency, have limited literacy, or are of any racial or ethnic minority.
  • Provide parents with reasonable access to staff. Encourage parents to participate in school activities to improve student academic achievement.
