Family Engagement Policy

2025-2026

At the annual parent meeting, parents will be informed of the District and School Wide Family Engagement Policies, the Parent School Compact, and the parent/community goals listed in the School Improvement Plan.

Daily folders are used as a communication tool. The folders inform the parents of their student’s homework, behavior, and upcoming events at school. Information packets are sent home schoolwide at the start of the year.

The Parent School Compact, developed jointly with parents, outlines how parents, staff, and students share responsibility for improved student achievement. The compact will help students achieve state standards and ESEA requirements.

Parent-teacher conferences will be held each fall and/or spring. Students’ social and academic progress towards goals will be reviewed, as well as areas of concern. The Parent School Compact and Family Engagement Policy will be available for review.

Parents will have the opportunity to provide suggestions or voice concerns in the Parent Suggestion Box located in the front lobby. Parent surveys will also solicit parent feedback and opinions.

A calendar of events, monthly newsletters, progress reports, and additional information will be sent home in a timely manner. This will provide updated information on curriculum, academic assessments, proficiency levels required to meet state standards and ESEA, parenting tips, and opportunities for adult education and activities.

Family events and parent information/collaboration meetings will be held throughout the year at various times to maximize parent involvement. The Title I parent involvement funds will financially support these activities. A flexible schedule of activities will be provided.

The school will build capacity by coordinating with Title 3 EL Services when needed and by offering transportation in addition to childcare.

Parents, community members, and staff will collaborate throughout the year to update and revise the School Wide Family Engagement Plan. The effectiveness of the SIP and Family Engagement Policies will be evaluated annually at a parent meeting. A signature of agreement will be required.

DuPont Elementary has a preschool program. Parents of preschool students will be encouraged to complete surveys and attend workshops, information meetings, and all school-related activities.
