Vision Statement: The Family Engagement Department

It takes a village to raise a child. In our village of a classroom, we strive to welcome and engage families in every learning stage. We are committed to fostering meaningful partnerships between schools and families, teachers and parents. We can learn together and from one another. Our goal is to promote student success at every grade level. Students are given the tools needed to gain skills and knowledge so they can become active, informed contributors to the world.

We believe in the value of parent-school relationships.

Parents are integral to a childs learning.

Parents must be actively involved in a childs education.

Parents are full partners in a childs education.

Parents have a right to have a role in the schools decision-making processes.

Our values are:

1. Strong Family and Community Ties: Schools have a responsibility to open their doors and foster relationships across diverse groups of students, staff members and families.

2. Meaningful Communication: Families and schools engage in meaningful two-way communication to promote every students wellbeing and academic success. We are committed to create open channels of communication and clear expectations that support mutual communication with families.

3. Authentic Leadership: Families are encouraged to be honest with the school, and offer input to inform policy in a meaningful way. Families must help shape a schools vision, student culture and are integral to reinforcing student learning at home.
