The Eastland ISD School District is committed to making parents/guardians, community members, and educators full partners with EISD by empowering families to support the learning and development of children and by providing families educational opportunities and resources to ensure lifelong success. One way we continue to do this is by participating in the Title I, Part A State Program. This program provides funding for low socioeconomic schools. In return, we promise to meet the expectations laid out for us by the Texas Education Agency and the United States Department of Education.

Eastland ISD understands that parent and family engagement involves the participation of parents and families in regular, two-way, meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including ensuring that:

· Parents and families play an integral role in assisting their child’s learning

· Parents and families are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education

· Parents and families are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and advisory committees to assist in the education of their child

Title I funds will be allocated for the implementation of the parent and family engagement program. Such programs, activities and procedures will be planned and implemented with meaningful consultation with parents of participating children.

All use of funding and activities can be reviewed by the Texas Education Agency upon request to ensure they meet the need of the PFE Program.

🍎 Include parents on the Site-based Decision Making Committee. This committee will plan, develop, evaluate, and revise the District Improvement Plan and the Parent and Family Engagement Policy.

Depending on the grade of your child, various assessments are utilized to determine your child's strengths, weaknesses, and academic needs. Data from all assessments are used to drive instructional practices, provide interventions and extensions, and make curricular decisions. Each child's academic growth is tracked throughout the school year, with students taking an active role in monitoring their data and setting goals. The assessments used are as follows:

• CIRCLE (Pre-K)
• CIRCLE-K (Kinder)
• Texas Primary Reading Inventory (1st-2nd)
• District created Curriculum Based Assessments (2nd-EOC)
• State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR--3rd-EOC)
