Briarwood Parent Involvement Policy
Briarwood Elementary School
Title I Parental Involvement Policy
2024-2025 School Year
Briarwood Elementary is committed to providing a quality education for every child as well as establishing strong partnerships with parents. Shared responsibility for high student performance, frequent communication, and ongoing parental involvement are essential components for assuring academic success for our students.
Briarwood Elementary is required to have an annual parent meeting to inform parents of our schools’ participation as a Title I site and explain the rights of parents to be involved in their children’s education. Site Based meetings will be scheduled each Fall and Spring. Briarwood Elementary’s Title I policy and program goals will be discussed, as well assessments used to monitor student progress in each grade. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend conferences with their child’s teacher to participate in decisions relating to their child’s education.
Additional parent involvement meetings will be planned to respond to parent needs and help strengthen the home-school partnership connection. Meetings will vary in respect to time and day and to accommodate parent schedules.
A School-Parent-Teacher-Student Compact will be utilized in an effort to formally recognize the importance of working together as cooperative partners in the educational process. It is Briarwood’s goal to enable students to achieve the state’s high standards and successfully reach their academic potential.
Communication between parents and teachers will be maintained on a continuing basis throughout the school year. Parents are provided quarterly academic progress reports and results of individual student assessments. They will be made aware of school activities and news through Peach Jar, Parent Square, special notes, our school web page, and the PTA Facebook page.
Parents and staff will be involved in planning, reviewing, and improving the program offered under the Title I plan. Needs assessment and program evaluation surveys will be conducted in the Spring of each school year and will be utilized to guide the revision of the plan for the following year at this site.
