• Parent & Family Engagement Plan

    2024-2025

    The Family Engagement Plan was jointly developed with parents to establish the expectations for parental involvement.

     Parental Involvement

    Delano Optional School expects parental involvement in the educational process.  The school and home have a shared goal of promoting success in our children.  Our parents will act as advisors, resource persons, and stakeholders in the following ways:

    1.  Attend school events and serve as advisors.                                                                                            

    2.  Serve on the School Leadership Team.

    3.  Use their talents/resources to enhance the instructional programs.

    4.  Become school partners, supporters, and advocators.                                                                                            

    5.  Respond to memos, surveys, and questionnaires expressing ideas and concerns.

     

    The administrators, parents, staff, and community strategically plan and implement Title I requirements according to the guidelines set forth in the law which include the following:

    1.  Making parents aware of Title I and the school’s participation.

    2.  Allowing parents to observe the school’s program(s) and visit classrooms.

    3.  Providing parents with student information and progress reports.

    4.  Soliciting feedback and suggestions from parents at parent meetings on decisions relating to the education of their children.

    5.  Providing parents with a copy of the Family Engagement Plan

    6.  Providing parents with a description and explanation of the curriculum in use at the school, forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet.

     

    To ensure that our parents participate in the development and implementation of the school’s program, we will do the following:

    1.  Invite all parents to an annual meeting(s) to explain the components and requirements of Title I.

    2.  Provide flexible times during the day, throughout the school year, for parents to attend parent meetings.

    3.  Offer diverse parental training and workshops.

    4.  Involve parents in planning and developing school improvement projects.
