Parents, staff, and students of Joelton Elementary will work together as partners to ensure the best possible education for all students. This includes working together to plan, design, implement, and evaluate the educational programs at Joelton Elementary School.
To accomplish this goal, Joelton Elementary will do the following:
Host an annual orientation at the beginning of the school year. At this meeting, questions and concerns will be addressed and teachers will hold informative sessions in their classrooms concerning expectations of students.
Encourage parents to volunteer, observe, and participate in their child’s class and school. The staff will always be reasonably accessible to parents.
Provide frequent reports to the parents about their child’s progress.
Conduct at least one parent-teacher conference to discuss and interpret individual student progress. Make an effort to meet with parents when requested. Meetings can be in person, telephone, or through electronic mail.
Provide strategies for parents that will assist in the improvement of their child’s educational experiences. A variety of Parent Workshops will be conducted.
Send home monthly newsletters providing information concerning school activities.
Provide parents and staff an opportunity to evaluate the Title I program and have input regarding its implementation.
