Response: Prine Elementary provides a balanced, enriched curriculum designed to successfully guide children through the 21st century. Our students prepare for life and academic success by participating in a strong, traditional program which incorporates the arts, enrichment and remediation programs. It is through this effort, and with the support and input from the Prine Family Foundation, that we are able to achieve a high standard of excellence. |
Response: · We believe in the meaningful involvement of parents and family, in school level and district planning, to design initiatives that promote family participation, to improve student achievement. The assessment identified our areas of strength as Parenting, Communicating, and School Decision Making and our barriers as Volunteering, Collaborating with the Community, and Learning at Home. We apply the findings and develop a written parent involvement plan and compact. The plan and compact identify what steps will be taken, who will be involved, what materials will be needed, when it will be done and how we will measure success. Parent meetings are held at various times to provide opportunities for meaningful two-way communication to share information and to discuss and carefully deliberate changes that are needed to the PIP. All parents are given the opportunity to review the plan and offer input prior to approval. The plan and compact detail the specific parent activities and strategies that we will offer throughout the year such as Family Reading and Family Math nights, offering parenting classes, welcoming parents as volunteers, and inviting community members to participate in SAC. |
