Parent Engagement Policy
Stansbury Elementary
Parent & Family Engagement Policy 2024-2025
All schools receiving Title I funds are required under section 1116 of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to develop a written Parent and Family Engagement Policy. This policy, developed jointly with parents, describes how the school will carry out meaningful parent and family engagement.
GENERAL
Parents and family members are involved in the development of the school parent and family engagement policy. At Stansbury Elementary, we involve our stakeholders by reviewing data, setting school goals, and looking at school-wide needs during School Community Council meetings, and Parent Engagement meetings.
POLICY INVOLVEMENT
Annual Meeting
An annual meeting is held each year in the Fall. At this meeting, information is shared with stakeholders that consists of an explanation of Title I, how funds are allocated, student performance in literacy and math, intervention and enrichment opportunities for students, and ways that stakeholders engage with the school. You may find information about our annual meeting on our school Title I website.
Flexible Meetings
We offer flexible meeting times for parents and families to participate in decisions regarding their child.
Involve Parents
We collect data from stakeholder input surveys, input from SCC and PTA meetings. Once data is collected, we review the data and assess needs. We partner with parents in using this information to create a plan as to how we involve parents.
SHARED RESPONSIBILITY - HIGH STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
The Stansbury Elementary School Parent Family Compact outlines shared responsibilities for high student academic achievement and is developed jointly with parents, teachers, administrators, and students. Our school’s Parent Family Compact, translated into multiple languages, can be viewed on our school’s Title I website.
BUILDING CAPACITY FOR INVOLVEMENT
To improve academic achievement and to ensure effective involvement of parents, Stansbury Elementary School will:
- Share with parents reports that measure students’ performance relative to grade-level standards, explain ways parents can monitor their student’s academic success, and have parent teacher conferences. Stansbury Elementary also hosts multiple parent engagement events where you will learn ways to support the academic achievement of your student.
- Provide materials and/or training for parents to work with their child to improve their child’s achievement such as literacy and using technology.
- Provide professional development for administrators, teachers, and instructional support personnel on the value of parents as equal partners and building ties between parents and the school.
- Coordinate parent involvement programs and activities with other Federal, State, and local programs that encourage and support parents in more fully participating in the education of their children.
ACCESSIBILITY
To the extent practicable, Stansbury Elementary School will ensure that information for parents and family members (including parents and family members who have limited English proficiency, parents and family members with disabilities, and parents and family members of migratory children) is in a language that they can understand.

Dear Parent or Guardian,
We are writing to let you know that Stansbury Elementary School has been designated as an Additional Targeted Support and Improvement school for Students with Disabilities for the 2024-25 school year. This designation means that this student population scores among the lowest-performing five percent in Utah’s Title I schools in academic performance and growth.
The program improvement designation provides an opportunity for principals, teachers, and parents to focus on areas of school improvement. The Granite School District and the Utah State Board of Education are working with our school to improve teaching and learning, especially in the areas of reading and mathematics by providing technical assistance and professional development opportunities to the teachers and administrators within our school.
Stansbury Elementary School is working to improve its academic program by undergoing a rigorous school improvement effort led by a school system of support team. We are working diligently as a school to work within our PLCs to meet the needs of all our students. We are also participating in monthly professional developments to improve classroom instruction and student learning. However, parent support is essential to the success of the school improvement efforts.
Parents can effectively assist student achievement improvement in the following ways:
- Communicating frequently with your student’s teachers
- Making sure your student attends school regularly
- Helping your student with homework
- Monitoring your student’s screen time
- Reading aloud to your student
- Volunteering in the classroom
- Participating in school decision-making
We want to request your help as the school addresses its academic needs and will invite parents to serve on the committee that will develop a school improvement plan.
Sincerely,
Ben Horsley, Superintendent
Aaron R. Wilson, Ed.D., Title I Director
Melissa Trujillo, Principal
