Parent Engagement Policy

Parent Engagement Policy

2024-2025

The staff at Academy Park Elementary School has always regarded parent involvement vital to the success of students achieving academic success. All schools have their individual characteristic and needs; Academy Park Elementary is not any different.  Within our community there are many diverse cultures, languages, and students with special needs. We encourage parents and guardians to participate as school volunteers, in PTA and the Community Council.

• It is the intent that our communication with parents, such as materials or flyers, will be written in an understandable and uniform format and, to the extent practicable, provided in a language that is understandable.  If anyone would like clarification, interpretation, or additional support, please contact the office 385-646-4750 for assistance.  Each parent or guardian is highly encouraged to work directly with the teacher of the child to resolve any concerns.
• In order to accommodate our parents, an annual meeting will be scheduled where programs, curriculum, student academic and behavior expectations, parent concerns and input will be discussed.  Near the end of the school year, a school survey will be sent to each home for input of how the parent or guardian perceived what was accomplished during the school year.
• A school-parent compact has been developed by the Academy Park Community Council, PTA and staff. A copy is available by contacting the office staff. The purpose of the compact is to increase each child’s academic achievement.
