Parent Engagement Policy
Silver Hills Parent and Family Engagement Plan
Preface: To our parents and families, we honor your role as the first and most important teachers of your children. Thank you for partnering with Granite School District and Silver Hills Elementary in helping your children achieve their academic potential and social emotional well-being. Such partnerships that allow for two-way communication better enable student success and the continual improvement of your child’s school.
How this Plan is Developed: The following Parent and Family Engagement Plan was developed jointly with parents through surveys and focus groups. Annually, feedback surveys are sent to all parents, and teachers, to identify barriers of engagement and also the needs parents have in supporting their children’s learning. This feedback is reviewed and informs revisions so this Parent and Family Engagement Plan meets the changing needs of parents and the school in facilitating successful family-school interactions.
Your Rights and Opportunities: Parents have rights to provide input on our school engagement practices and to be active participants and decision-makers in not only their own student’s educational experience, but also in the development of school-wide initiatives through participating in school Parent Teacher Student Associations (PTAs), attending school Community Council meetings, volunteering at the school, attending SEPs and other school events, receiving information about school programs, and have questions answered in a timely manner.
Silver Hills’ principal conducts an annual school Title I meeting that shares information about our school, explains your rights, outlines school parent and family engagement efforts, and receives parents’ input on school engagement plans and other policies. Parent stakeholder groups also assist in the development of the school’s Continual Improvement Plan: a document that outlines the goals and strategies that guide school improvement. Parent and please read our School Parent Compact.
Resources to Assist Parents and Families: All parents in Granite School District have access to curricular resources to assist their children in learning core standards, the opportunity for a safe and equitable learning environment, and other forms of student learning and support.
