Response: The mission of the Cedar Hills Parent Involvement Plan is to provide ongoing and meaningful opportunities for parents to take a more active role in their child's education. Cedar Hills will achieve this by conducting parent involvement activities each nine weeks to educate parents on how to become more involved academically and participate in their child's education. We at Cedar Hills believe the relationship between home and school is crucial to the success of our students. We believe by helping the parent we are essentially helping the student.
Response: Cedar Hills will notify parents through Duval Connect, flyers and the school's marquee to inform the parents of upcoming events. Cedar Hills will invite parents to be a part of the Parental Involvement Plan during the Annual Open House. Parent volunteers with the administration and the parental involvement team will discuss the school improvement plan, PIP, Title I funds, including parent involvement and professional development funds, during two meetings prior to the Annual Meeting. These will be documented by use of agendas, minutes, and sign in sheets. Cedar Hills will seek the participation of parents through the parent involvement annual meeting to gain input for the Parent Involvement Plan. Through the parent feedback surveys, the council will review the effectiveness of the Title I programs and use of funds for improvement.
Response: Meetings will be planned for morning, immediately after school and late afternoons to meet the variable needs of parents. A percentage of the Parent Involvement Budget will be set aside to provide child care, translators/translations (when appropriate) and transportation to increase parent participation.
Response: Cedar Hills will establish a School Advisory Council to offer suggestions on matters related to parent involvement. Parents will be given a variety of opportunites to help their children grow academically and socially. Parents will be given comment/evaluation forms for feedback pertaining to the effectiveness of the activities.
Response: To provide parents with timely information about Title I programs Cedar Hills will hold an annual meeting for all parents to attend. At this meeting, we will provide parents with information about curriculum, district and state assessments and procedures of the school. A flyer will go home with all students to communicate to parents when the PIP is complete. A copy will be in the office for their review and will also be available on our website. Parents are invited to attend SAC meetings to offer input. The school will conduct an annual FCAT meeting to discuss the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet. Cedar Hills will offer parents regular meetings to formulate suggestions in decisions related to the education of their child via parent/teacher conferences. Parents will be notified through Web Messenger, flyers, teacher websites, parent communication folders, and the school's marquee at least two weeks in advance of any event. Copies of all the flyers, newsletters, surveys, and teacher/parent feedback forms will be used for monitoring purposes. The purposes of monitoring communication are to ensure all parents receive information in their native languages and in a timely manner, as well as to determine if additional means of communication are needed.
Response: The Language Survey, teacher input and interaction with the office staff will be used to determine family needs for written translations. Cedar Hills upon enrollment, will determine through the Language survey a need for translation needs. Information will be disseminated bilingually (English and Spanish) in print, and using the Web Messenger. Cedar Hills will utilize TDD to notify parents who may be hearing impaired. The school will also use the district provided service, TRANS ACT, to help translate documents into various languages. While on campus, Cedar Hills will utilize the services of an interpreter. Any parents who may be blind will receive all communication in Braille. Cedar Hills is also wheelchair accessible, therefore can accomodate all parents. Parent surveys/feedback forms in different languages will be made available to the parents and used for monitoring purposes. The purposes of monitoring are to ensure Parental Involvement Programming is effective and to ensure necessary changes are made to meet the needs of the parents.
