The Plan...The Promise 2024

 

The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other
Title I information are available on our school’s website at
https://meadowcreekes.gcpsk12.org/ under the Title I
Section. Families can find paper copies of this Family and
Community Engagement Plan in our Family Engagement Center.
The Plan/Promise is also available in ParentSquare.

 

 

It is reviewed and revised at least annually during the Planning
Meeting in the spring. All feedback forms from the Planning
Meeting are submitted to the Office of Federal Programs for
review. Families who are not able to attend the Planning
Meeting have the opportunity to review draft documents and
provide input during the draft document review period. The
plan is also reviewed with families twice a year during
Parent/Teacher Conferences.

 

 

We believe that meaningful, two-way communication between
teachers and families will improve academic success for
students. Therefore, Meadowcreek Elementary provides
opportunities for regular meetings with our families to
participate in two-way communication relating to the
education of their child; including Parent/Teacher meetings,
website communication, Text Remind, School Messenger,
Parent Center Virtual Meetings, and Friday Folder, etc. All
communication is translated/interpreted to the extent possible
and meetings are held in various formats. We will make every
attempt to eliminate barriers such as transportation and
childcare.

Parents may communicate with the Parent Instructional
Coordinator (Ms. Judy Pena-Perez) to assist in scheduling a
meeting with their child’s teacher at a convenient time.

 

 

 

Empathy: Cultural competence, staff and student wellbeing, educator
diversity.
Equity: Multi-tiered system of supports, opportunity and access,

It is a plan that describes how our school will provide opportunities to improve family engagement that will support student learning at school and home. All students and their families are invited and encouraged to participate fully in the opportunities described in this plan. The school will provide information and as many opportunities as possible for the participation of all family members.  

It is a written agreement that outlines how the school, the students, and the family will work together to ensure your child’s academic success. An effective School-Family Promise contains the following elements:

• Clear learning goals that are linked to the school’s improvement plan

• Specific skills students will learn during the year 

• Strategies that staff, families, and students will use to improve student learning

• Ways to extend learning at home

• Methods teachers and family members will use to communicate about student progress

• Opportunities for family members to observe and participate in the classroom

• Jointly developed by families, school staff, students, community business partners, and other stakeholders during our Planning Meeting

• Reviewed and revised throughout the year. The School-Family Promise is reviewed twice a year during our Parent/Teacher Conferences. It is also reviewed during workshops and other meetings throughout the school year. New families review the Promise during registration.

• Title I Program Information: Program information is available during the Title I Planning Meeting in the spring and Annual Parent Meetings in the fall, on the school website, and in the Parent Center.

• Curriculum Information: Knowing what your child is learning at school is important. We will keep you informed throughout the year about what your child is learning during parent meetings, conferences, eCLASS, and on our school website.
