TITLE I PARENT INVOLVEMENT

A. 1. INMAN MIDDLE SCHOOL PARENT INVOLVEMENT PLAN

A. 1. General

Parents will be surveyed at W. O. Inman to determine greatest needs for their children and how they can be involved in parental activities. W. O. Inman School is a Title I School. The surveys will represent the views of all parents including parents of Title I and ELL students.

A. 2. Written Plan

This plan was developed with input and agreement from all parents, including parents of Title I and ELL children. Representatives from W. O. Inman School participated in the development and revision of a school compact and the Paris Special District Plan to ensure the continuity between the district plan and the plan at Inman Middle School. Names of the individuals involved are on file in the principal’s office. Each school will have their plan available in their student handbook and website. The district plan and each school plan will be updated periodically to meet the changing needs of parents, students, and schools.

A. Questionnaires/Surveys will be used to obtain parental input in the development of the school’s plan.

B. Information regarding activities, curriculum, progress of the school and students toward meeting state standards will be disseminated to parents through school newsletters, School Messenger, web site, and letters home with a request for parent comments and will also be available on the state website.

C. Parent Involvement Coordinator will meet periodically throughout the year with school contact persons to provide technical assistance to promote the implementation and expansion of parent involvement through training sessions, meetings and workshops.

D. Parent involvement will be strengthened through such activities as: Annual Meeting, school newsletters, Parent Academy, workshops, training sessions, PAC meetings, family nights, parent/teacher conferences, booster clubs, and parent orientation meetings. In addition to the designated fall parent teacher conference day, addition conferences will be scheduled during team meetings or after school hours upon request of parent or teacher as needed.

E. School support teams composed of parents, teachers, and other staff will meet periodically to develop strategies and coordinate with other programs such as PAC, Booster Clubs, Morning Mom’s and other parent involvement activities.

F. Annual surveys will be conducted to determine the success of parental participation and to identify how parental involvement may be increased by determining barriers that may hinder greater parental involvement.
