Title I is designated to support State and local school reform efforts tied to the challenging State academic standards to improve teaching and learning for students. Title I programs must be based on the effective means of improving student achievement and include strategies to support family engagement. All Title I schools must jointly develop with parents and family members a written parent and family engagement policy.

School Plan for Shared Student Achievement

 

What is it? 

This is the plan that describes how Chasco K8 will provide opportunities to improve family engagement to support learning. The contributions and involvements of parents and family members to establish an equal partnership for the common goal of improving student achievement. This plan describes different ways that Chasco will support family engagement and how parents can plan and participate in activities and events to promote student learning at school and at home. 

How is it revised? 

Chasco K8 invited all parents to attend our Title I Parent Input Meeting last spring to review and revise our parent engagement plan, budget, compact, and schoolwide plan. Additionally, parent input and comments regarding this plan are welcome during the school year. Please call our front office at 727-774-1300. All parent feedback received throughout the year and from the parent input meeting will be used to revise this plan the following school year. We also distribute an annual survey in February to ask parents for their feedback on this plan and on the use of funds for family engagement. 

Who is it for? 

All students participating in the Title I, Part A program, and their families are encouraged to and fully participate in the opportunities described in this plan. Chasco K8 will provide full opportunity for the participation of parents and family members with limited English, with disabilities, and of migratory children. 

Where is it available? 

This plan is sent home in the beginning of the year with the annual Title I letter. It is also available on our school’s website (chk8.pasco.k12.fl.us/). Additional copies will be available at the school.

 

Chasco K8 believes that family engagement means the participation of parents and family members in regular two-way, meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including ensuring that: 

• Parents play an integral role in assisting their child’s learning. 
• Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education at school. 
• Parents are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as appropriate, in decisionmaking and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child. Student Parent Compacts.

As a part of this plan, Chasco K8 and our families will develop a school parent compact. This is an agreement that parents, teachers, and students will develop that explains how parents and teachers will work together to ensure all students reach grade-level standards. The compacts will be updated annually based on feedback from parents, students, and teachers during the Title I family input meeting. The school-parent compacts also are shared with parents during parent teacher conferences.
