Fox Parent and Family Engagement Policy & School-Parent Compact

The Parent and Family Engagement Policy describes how Fox Elementary School will provide opportunities to improve parent and family engagement to support student learning. Fox Elementary School values the contributions and involvement of families in order to establish partnership for the common goal of improving student achievement. The Parent and Family Engagement Policy describes the different ways the school will support parent and family engagement and how families are encouraged to be full partners in the decision-making of their child’s education.

What is a School-Parent Compact?

The School-Parent Compact is a written agreement that outlines how our school, our students, and our families will work together to ensure the academic success of all students.

Fox Elementary School will provide all students with high quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment to meet high academic standards.

Smart Goal 1: By May 2025, Fox Elementary School will develop a Leadership team that will be involved in the decision-making process to support and monitor school improvement efforts using the GaDOE leadership rubric and will be operational by the end of the school year. Smart Goal 2: By May 2025, Fox Elementary School will refine the collaborative structure to address the standard-based classroom instructional framework as recommended by the GSAPS walkthrough.

Working Together to Ensure Success

Teachers are expected to work with students and their families to support students’ success in reading and math. Some of our key connections with families will be:

• Coordinate activities for Literacy Night and share strategies with families on how to help students at home.
• Monitor student progress in reading and math and update parents frequently.
• Establish open lines of communication with parents concerning their child’s school performance.
• Provide personalized learning experiences for every student.

Students

Students are encouraged to participate in the educational process. A successful student takes ownership of his/her learning and sets high educational goals.

• Work hard to increase Lexile Reading Levels.
• Work cooperatively with my teachers to increase academic success.
• As a student, do my best in all classes.
• Work hard in programs such as Lexia and Beable to expand my reading levels.

Families

Parents/Guardians are expected to participate in the education of their children. Without the cooperation and partnership between parents and school staff, we cannot effectively help a student reach his or her full potential. The major role of parents is to continually show the child that they are interested and supportive of how their child is doing in school.

• Use reading materials the teacher sends home each week to help my child gain knowledge in Reading.
• Help my child increase their reading comprehension skills.
• Communicate with my child’s teacher regarding any questions or concerns about my child’s individual goals for learning.
• Attend Parent and Family Engagement Workshops.
