Parent Involvement Policy

The entire process of education is enhanced when the school and family work together. In compliance with the law, this policy
has been developed as a statement of Eastside Elementary purpose and plan for Title I Parent Involvement Program.
A. Policy Involvement: Eastside Elementary School will involve parents by providing timely information about Title I and
its operation, making school performance profiles and individual assessment results available, and providing activities and
communications such as, but not limited to, newsletters, informal meetings, surveys, parent representation, school agendas and
conferences.
B. Shared Responsibility: Eastside Elementary will work with parents to provide opportunities such as, but not limited to,
developing a school compact, providing volunteer opportunities, providing incentive programs, scheduling regular parent-teacher
conferences, and promote open communication.
C. Building Capacity for Involvement: Eastside Elementary will empower parents and increase their capacity for
involvement by providing parent support groups, connection parents with community services and resources, and providing takehome
materials for instruction.
D. Accessibility: Eastside Elementary will strive for full involvement and participation for all parents by reaching out and
addressing barriers. We will coordinate with ESL, coordinate with other community agencies and organizations, provide an
inviting and unthreatening atmosphere for all parents and communicate in simple and understandable language. We will also
provide a handicapped accessible area.
