Franklinton Elementary School

Title I Parent Involvement Policy

      Franklinton Elementary School believes that education of children is a shared effort between the home, school and community.  Children’s first teachers are their parents.  Franklinton Elementary School administrators and staff encourage parents to be actively involved in the educational process.  The school invites parents to PTA meetings, parent conferences and to become volunteers in order to increase parental understanding of our school’s programs and their importance to student learning.

     Franklinton Elementary School serves as an eligible Title I School in which 71% of our students receive free or reduced lunch.  Being a part of this Title I Program, Franklinton Elementary School shall comply with the regulations as required by H.R.  No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 enacted January 8, 2002 , as specified by the law.  The school-wide program includes the following components:

 

  1. School-wide reform strategies that provide opportunities for all students to meet the state’s proficient and advanced levels of academic achievement.
  2. Activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement standards will be provided with effective and timely assistance.
  3. Strategies to attract highly qualified teachers (parents will be notified at any time a child is taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified).
  4. Coordination and integration of federal, state and local services and programs.
  5. Effective methods of instructional strategies that increase and strengthen the academic programs in the school and to address the needs of all students, but particularly the needs of low-achieving students and those at risk of not meeting the State student academic standards.
