Parent Involvement Policy   

 

At Sidney Glen Elementary we understand the importance of working collaboratively with parents to ensure all of our students are successful; therefore we are committed to providing a variety of opportunities for parent involvement:

 

• An open house for parents of Sidney Glen students will provide school and program information.

 

• Parents will be invited to all school activities including Family Learning Nights, PTA family events, and all pertinent workshops, meetings, classes that address working with their child.

 

• Parents are encouraged to provide input regarding school/student needs.

 

• Parents will be involved in an annual needs assessment/parent survey, and Title 1 building program evaluation and plan.  Parents may provide written comments if they disagree with elements of the plan.

 

• A monthly newsletter is sent home to support strategies for working with their child.

 

• Teacher-parent communication concerning student progress is ongoing.  Teacher contact information is found in the student planner.

 

• A Family Resource area is available to parents just inside our entrance.  This area has information about healthcare, family and student activities, and community resources.

 

• Parents will participate in goal setting for their child as they agree to, and sign a Compact during the first parent/teacher conference.

 

• This Title 1 Parent Policy will be reviewed and updated by Sidney Glen’s Parent Involvement/Climate School Improvement Committee and then be distributed annually to all Sidney Glen parents.
