Parent input "building staff capacity"—What can we do to help school staff better meet the needs of parents and families? (Survey)

RMS welcomes your input, comments, and suggestions. If you have further questions or concerns

about Title I and how Title I money is spent, please talk to the parent involvement coordinator or

principal.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE PARENT SURVEY for signature, and input (Below)

Welcome! We value our home-school partnership and want you to have a voice in decision making. Research has shown when parents are engaged in their child's learning, students experience higher achievement. Thank you for participating today and for the support you give your child at home.

This is our input meeting for the fall. All parents and guardians are invited to participate. We will be reviewing policies, the new compact policy, the Title l budget, and much more!

If you have any input or suggestions for our policies, let us know on the feedback/sign-in form at the end of this meeting.

The Title I Compact is no longer a standalone document and is located in the RMS Title I Parent Engagement Policy.

As part of our Title I plan, Ringgold Middle School jointly develops, through meaningful consultation with parents, a school-family compact that outlines how families and our school will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and the means by which the school and parents will build and develop a partnership to help children achieve the state’s high standards. The school-wide compact stresses the importance of communication between families and teachers. RMS families are given the opportunity to provide compact input through meaningful consultation with school staff throughout the school year. Parents have the opportunity to review and adjust the compact at Parent Advisory Council meetings. Family-School Compacts should be used at home and at school in parent-teacher conferences.

Where can I find our school's Compact?

Family-School Compacts are included as a section of our school's Parent & Family Engagement Policy. To review our Policy and Compact, please click HERE.

The School Improvement Plan will be available on the RMS website after approval by CCPS. Below are strategies for developing the School Improvement Plan.
