24-25 Parent & Engagement Policy

What is it?

Leon Sablatura Middle School is committed to our vision: every student matters and serves a purpose. We strive to provide high-quality education individualized for each student by developing and maintaining relationships with families and community. One way we continue to do this is by participation in the Title l, Part A State Program. This program provides funding for low socioeconomic schools. In return, we promise to meet the expectations laid out for us by the Texas Education Agency and the United States Department of Education.

Funding

Title I funds will be used for implementation of the parent and family engagement program. The district sets aside the required 1% of Title I funds for parent and family engagement. These programs, activities, and procedures will be planned and implemented with meaningful collaboration with families.

Review

Funding and activities can be reviewed by the Texas Education Agency upon request to ensure they meet the need of the PFE program.

Parent Meetings

Parent meetings offer a time for the school and family to communicate necessary information.

As a Title I campus, there will be an Annual Title I meeting.

This year, the fall Annual Title l program review will be held August 28, 2024.

Curriculum

Sablatura Middle School utilizes high-quality curriculum that supports student success. In all subjects, teachers use the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as the foundation for all classroom curricula.

Forms of Academic Assessments

Sablatura has common formative assessments that every teacher gives. All assessments are aligned to the TEKS and are modeled after the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness or STAAR test.

Teachers at Sablatura also give:

• Common assessments and benchmarks in English Language Arts & Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies
• STAAR simulation in Math and Reading at grades 5-6, Science grade 5

Expected Achievement Levels on Academic Assessments:

All Sablatura students are required to take the STAAR in Math and Reading for grades 5-6 and Science for grade 5, in the late spring of each year (as required by the Texas Education Agency.) Also in the spring semester, Emergent Bilingual (EB) students at Sablatura are required to take the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS). Students are testing in listening and speaking, reading and writing.

Information on the State’s STAAR and TELPAS assessments and Performance Standards can be found on this website.
