Title I Parent Engagement Plan

2023-2024

 

Rivercrest Elementary envisions quality education for all by providing a safe and nurturing environment that enables every student to attain academic proficiency in all subjects and to become productive decision makers and technologically literate learners. To achieve our goals, we encourage a strong home-school partnership where all students, parents, and staff will work together in the educational process at Rivercrest Elementary. Rivercrest Elementary School encourages parent involvement through the following activities:

 

  • Title I meeting in August/September to explain the Title I Program, Title I School-Parent-Student Compact, and parent involvement opportunities for the school year (offered at flexible times).
  • Grade level meeting nights where homeroom teachers give an overview of grade level curriculum.
  • Family Night events focused on academic subjects such as math, science, and technology each semester in order to maintain or increase the high level of parental/community involvement as required by ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act).
  • Parenting workshops at flexible meeting times with topics determined by the current Title 1 Parent Survey
  • Parents assigned to the School Improvement Plan Advisory Committee
  • Volunteer Breakfast at the end of the school year to honor all parents and community members who volunteered in our school
  • Scheduled Parent-Teacher Conferences twice a year
