To guarantee student success, a partnership between school and parents is vital. At Gill Elementary School, we recognize that parents are their children’s primary teachers, and their support is critical in our efforts to provide a quality education to the children at Gill Elementary School.
At Gill Elementary School, numerous activities are scheduled throughout the school year to educate parents, to encourage their involvement in their child’s education, and to promote the development of a relationship between parents and teachers.
Gill Elementary School faculty and staff take seriously their obligation to involve parents and the community in educating students. The school, along with parents, has established a Parent Involvement Policy. This policy assures parents that their feedback will be sought concerning the school’s performance and lists specific ways in which parents may be involved. Parent involvement activities are ongoing at Gill Elementary School.
Gill Elementary School will convene an annual meeting each fall to which parents of all participating children shall be invited and encouraged to attend, to inform parents of their school’s participation in Title I, to explain the requirements of Title I, and the right of the parents to be involved.
Parents are requested to sign and adhere to the School-Parent Compact distributed at the annual meeting. The expectations and responsibilities of all partners are referenced throughout the school year during meetings and/or conversations with parents.
Annual parent surveys will be conducted to receive parent feedback.
Communication is provided via student planners, listserv e-mails, school web pages, and the school messenger phone system.
PTA meetings are scheduled bi-monthly throughout the year.
