The Plan The Promise 2026-2027

What is a Family and Community Plan?

It is a plan that describes how our school will provide opportunities to improve family engagement that will support student learning at school and at home. All students and their families are invited and encouraged to fully participate 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.

What is a School-Family Promise?

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 via our school website, Curriculum Night, Parent-Teacher conferences (Fall and Spring), Annual Title I Parent Meeting, and other parent engagement events

• Posted on Website

• Copies available in the Parent Center
