Morgan School Exceptional Children, K-12
2009-2010 Parent Policy

&amp;amp;lt;o:p&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;lt;/o:p&amp;amp;gt;

The Morgan School Title I Schoolwide program encourages each parent to be involved in their child's education. This policy outlines the parent involvement activities that will be conducted during the school year.

Parents will receive a copy of the Parent Involvement Policy (this document) – which describes the ongoing activities that are held to inform and involve parents in their child's education.

* Parents will receive a copy of the Parent-School Compact - this is an agreement between the home and school outlining everyone's responsibility for supporting student learning.

* A school open house will be held during the first 2 weeks of school. We look forward to seeing you.

* A Title I annual parent meeting will be held on October 22, 2009 in conjunction with our PTA/Curriculum Night. This meeting will cover:&amp;amp;nbsp;
- the results of the annual review meeting from last spring,
- what activities children will be involved in,
- how children will be assessed to determine growth,
- how and when the assessment information will be sent home to the parents.
This meeting will also give parents the opportunity to actively participate and have
input into the Title I Schoolwide program.

* Newsletters, suggestions on how to work with your child, lists of good books to read with your child as well as other information will be sent home monthly to provide opportunity to train parents to help their children succeed in school.

* Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for the end of 1st Quarter. Teachers will be available to review your child's progress and answer any questions you may have.

* A survey will be given to parents in the spring of the year that will allow parents a chance to voice their feeling about the Title I Schoolwide program. We look forward to suggestions or recommendations from you that can help us improve our Title I program.

* An annual review meeting is held each year in the spring to review the Title I Schoolwide program. Parents are welcome to attend. The results from the parent survey as well as teacher input will be considered when planning for the next year. The results of this annual review meeting will be shared with parents at the annual parent meeting in the fall.

* We invite you to call the school or your child’s teacher at any time during the year to ask any questions you may have or to schedule a visit or meeting. It is our hope that your children will have a wonderful experience learning at The Morgan School.
