LAKEVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL PARENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT POLICY

What is Title I ?

In support of strengthening student academic achievement, Lakeview Middle School receives Title I, Part A funds and therefore must jointly develop with, agree with, and distribute to parents and family members of participating children a written parent and family engagement policy that contains information required by section 1116(b) and (c) of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The policy establishes the school's expectations for parent and family engagement and describes how the school will implement a number of specific parent and family engagement activities

What is a Family-School Compact?

A Family-School Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students and teachers develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all students get the individual support they need to reach and exceed grade level standards.

Effective Compacts:

Link goals to School Improvement Plan
Focus on Student Learning Skills
Describe how Teachers will help students using high-quality instruction.
Share Specific Strategies parents can use at home.
Explain how teachers and parents will communicate about student progress.
Describe opportunities for parents to volunteer, observe, and participate in the classroom.

Jointly Developed

The Parents, students, and staff of Lakeview Middle School developed this School-Parent Compact for Achievement. Teachers suggested home learning strategies, parents added ideas to make them more specific, and students were told what would help them learn. meetings are held each year to review the compact and make changes based on student needs. *If you would like to volunteer or have a parent suggestion please contact Stacey Newell at snewell.lms@catoosa.k12.ga.us or 706-866-1040 or join Volunteer Station Remind just text 81010 message @666387
