Parent Survey must be done annually, but it can be done electronically or by paper. Page 1
4 Strategies to Increase Parental Involvement 1. Describe how the school will convene an annual meeting to inform parents of the school's participation in Title I and explain Title I requirements, including the 1% set-aside, and the right of parents involved. will: - Convene an annual meeting that will encourage and facilitate parent attendance for the purpose of informing parents about the school-wide program and Title I requirements and offerings. o invites all parents to an annual meeting during the fall school to explain the Continuous Improvement plan. Included in this explanation are the benefits and activities, federal guidelines, and the role, rights and responsibilities of all parents in the education of their children. Parents are also notified of their rights to know the qualifications of their child's teacher and if that teacher is highly qualified. Additionally, we recognize the unique challenges of our EL families and have translators specifically designed for their needs. The CMS Continuous Improvement Leadership Team which includes the Parent Advisory Team meets annually to discuss the effective use of the parental involvement set aside funds. We will continue to maintain the Parent Resource room which assists and coordinates family literacy and parent training such as, but not limited to family support programs and resources to assist families with health, literacy, computer, nutrition, financial matters and other problems/issues. These parent education opportunities are provided in collaboration with federal programs. Parents are notified about these opportunities through advertisements in the local newspapers, website, school cast, radio, and flyers. A Parent's Right-to-Know letter is included in the registration packet. This information is also covered at an annual meeting and periodically at additional parent training. will provide parents information about their right to know the qualifications of their children's teachers, paraprofessionals, or substitute teachers. Notice of this right and of any person who does not meet the highly qualified criteria required by No Child Left Behind will be forwarded to parents each year. Parents have the right to know that their children are being taught by a paraprofessional. When a student is being taught by a teacher who is not highly qualified, a notification letter is sent home to the parents of those children. When a substitute has been in the classroom for four consecutive weeks and is not highly qualified, a notification letter will be sent home to parents of those children. 2. Describe: 1) How there will be a flexible number and format of parent meetings offered; 2) How parents will be involved in the planning, review and improvement of the Title I Program (Note: State the school's process for how all Title I parents have the opportunity for involvement in decision-making.); and 3) How funds allocated for parent involvement are being used in the school. will: - Synergize - Involve parents in the development of the Continuous Improvement Plan Parents serve On the Parent Advisory Team and work closely with the CMS Continuous Improvement Leadership Team in development of the Continuous Improvement Plan which includes the Parental Involvement Plan. - Involve parents in the joint development of the Parent Involvement Plan. - Provide open forum for information and decision making at PTO and Parent meetings.

5 - Begin with the End in Mind - Administer a Parent Needs/Evaluation survey in the spring of each year seeking input about the effectiveness of the Continuous Improvement Plan and the Parental Involvement Plan. Information compiled is used along with other data in the comprehensive needs assessment to determine the overall effectiveness of the Continuous Improvement Plan and the Parental Involvement Plan. - Make available to parents and the local community the Continuous Improvement Plan which includes the Parental Involvement Plan. The Continuous Improvement Plan is made available to parents in the following venues: Parent Resource Room School website/parent Page School Media Center School office - Parents are notified that at the Annual Title I Parent meeting, on the website, and in the Continuous Improvement document that they can make comments if they disagree with any aspect or component of the Tallapoosa County School System Continuous Improvement Plan and the Continuous Improvement Plan which includes the Parental Involvement Plan. Parents are notified at the annual Continuous Improvement meeting that the Spring Needs/Evaluation survey is an excellent opportunity to make comments and suggestions for program improvement.

Describe how parents, the school staff, and students share responsibility for improved student academic achievement for participating students (How the School-Parent Compact is jointly developed with Title I parents; how it is used, reviewed, and updated). develop a school-parent-student compact. The compact shall outline how parents, school faculty and staff, and the student will share the responsibility for improved student achievement.
