👥 Engage with us this year to support your child's learning

The administration, staff, and parents and family members of Springs Ranch Elementary believe that the improved academic achievement of every student is a responsibility shared by the entire school community. This includes the school district, school administration, school staff members, students, community members, and families (as defined for purposes of this policy to include parents, guardians and all members of a student’s family involved in the student’s education.)

Family engagment activities in the school will include opportunities for:

☎️ Effective communication between the school and parents

🚸 Parents to volunteer and be involved in school activities

📕 Staff development and parent education

🏠 Parents to provide home support for their student's education

🗣️ Parents to participate in school decision-making

The school administration and staff will:

• Provide a high quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables students to meet or exceed the state academic standards
• Facilitate and implement the district Title I Parent Involvement Policy
• Involve parents in the planning, review and improvement of the School Parents Involvement Policy annually
• Provide the School Parent Involvement Policy to parents in an understandable format
• Invite parents to attend informational meetings regarding their school's participation in Title I, the requirements of Title I and the right of parents to be involved
• Inform parents about the goals and purpose of a School-wide Title I program cirriculum used at the school, assessments used to measure progress and expected student proficiency levels
• Provide materials and training to help parents work with their students to improve academic achievement
• Advise parents of their student's progress on a regular basis
• Be readily accessible to parents and provide opportunities for parents to meet with staff to discuss students progress
• Inform parents of the School-wide Title I Parent Involvement Policy and Compact each year and post on school website

Parents will support their student's learning at home by:

• Ensuring that their student goes to school regularly and is on time each day
• Monitoring homework-providing a quiet time and place for completion of homework and reading
• Encourage positive use of extracurricular time
• Attending all parent/teacher conferences
• Volunteering in the classroom as able
• Participating in school activities- Title I annual meetings, Open House, Family Literacy and Math Nights, field trips, student programs, parent-teacher conferences, etc. as able
• Communicating regularly with school staff regarding their student's needs and circumstances
• Supporting and following all rules, regulations, policies, and procedures of the school and school district

Students will support their learning by:

• Working hard and doing their best in class
• Listening to and following instructions
• Staying on task and completing assignments to their best of their ability
• Showing respect for self and others
• Following all school rules, regulations, policies, and procedures

I commit to supporting my child's learning and partnering with school staff to ensure success this year. Family engagement and the home-school partnership are key to student success.

As part of this effort, our School-Family Compact is an agreement that families, students, and school staff develop together. It explains how we will work collaboratively to ensure that all students reach or exceed grade-level standards.
