Parent Involvement in Schoolwide Plan
“When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more.” -National Education Associaion
The Trillium Academy Staff concurs with the result of students that show when parents are involved in decision-making and advocacy student achievement rises to a higher level. Since parents are valued stakeholders, we value their input and involvement in all decisions involving their children. We have extended chances for parents to become actively involved in decision-making and advocacy by providing the following opportunities:
- Opportunities are provided for parents to participate in the school improvement process through the Parent Educator Organization (PEO). This process involves setting school-wide goals based on building and state assessment data results.
- Providing parents and community with our School Annual Report. This report summarizes the school goals, provides information on the school, recent achievement test scores and special programs that are sponsored by the school.
- Maintaining an “Open Door Policy,” encouraging parents to feel welcome to come into school to discuss any concerns or challenges they might have.
- Provide parent surveys in multiple languages if necessary.
