Parent Engagement Policy
South Kearns Elementary 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 South Kearns Elementary in helping your children achieve their academic potential and social emotional well-being. Such partnerships allow for two-way communication to better enable student success and the continual improvement of our school.
How this Plan is Developed: Our plan was developed jointly with parents through surveys and parent groups including our Community Council and Parent Teacher Student Association (PTAs). The feedback was reviewed by all stakeholders to identify barriers of engagement and the needs parents have in supporting their children’s learning. This feedback was reviewed by school administration and our leadership team to meet the changing needs of parents and the school in facilitating successful family-school interactions.
Your Rights and Opportunities: We believe parents have rights to provide input on 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 PTAs, attending school Community Council meetings, volunteering at the school, attending SEPs and other school events, receiving information about school programs, and having questions answered in a timely manner.
Our school conducts an annual school Title I meeting that shares information about the 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 (CIP). This document outlines the goals and strategies that guide school improvement.
Supporting Parents and Families: School administrators meet regularly to receive training on effective parent and family engagement strategies, strategies that involve parents and families in a meaningful way to partner in improving student academic achievement and school performance. Improving student learning is a team effort. Along with parents as key partners in this endeavor, Granite School District coordinates district initiatives pertaining to parent and family engagement through a District Improvement Steering Committee (DISC). This committee oversees this important endeavor as well as other district initiatives, coordinating Federal, State, and local laws and programs. Its goal is to provide seamless support to families and students.
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. In addition, we host a Family Engagement Center that helps families with a variety of classes to support language acquisition, improved student learning, and overall health.
