(Draft)

WHERE IS THE PLAN AVAILABLE?
The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information are available on our school’s website at https://creeklandms.gcpsk12.org/ under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of the Family and Community Engagement Plan in our Parent Center. 
HOW IS THE PLAN DEVELOPED AND REVISED?
It is reviewed and revised at least annually during the Planning Meeting in the spring. All feedback forms from the Planning Meeting are submitted to the Office of Federal Programs for review.  Families who are not able to attend the Planning Meeting have the opportunity to review draft documents and provide input during the draft document review period.  
COMMUNICATION

Written communication is available to all parents in both English and Spanish with additional languages available upon request.  In addition, interpreters are available for parent-teacher conferences, family workshops, and individual parent meetings.

Parents may request a meeting by contacting the school office at (770)338-4700 and scheduling an appointment.
OUR DISTRICT GOALS
The Blueprint for the Future is the strategic plan for Gwinnett County Public Schools. This plan is organized into four strategic priorities, each with three specific goals. To ensure success, these goals have clear objectives and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track and measure progress. Each year schools review their data to identify areas for growth and set long-term goals to improve them. This information is used to create a Local School Plan for Improvement (LSPI) aligned to the district's priorities. School staff, families, and community members participate in providing input for the LSPI. Families can easily access the latest strategic plan on the Gwinnett County Public Schools' website.
OUR SCHOOL GOALS

We will provide all students with high quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment to meet high academic standards by:

  • At our school, we are committed to providing high-quality Tier 1 instruction. This means that all students actively participate in learning activities designed to help them meet their academic goals. We focus on ensuring that every student is achieving at the level expected for their grade.
  • To support each student's unique learning journey, we offer Eagle Time. This special time is dedicated to using student achievement data to tailor learning experiences. Whether your child needs a little extra help or is ready for more challenging material, we provide both enrichment and remediation activities during this time to meet their individual needs.
  • Differentiating learning (remediation and enrichment) using small group instruction.  We provide daily opportunities for engagement in high quality interventions/extensions daily through the usage of teacher led small groups.
WHAT IS A FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGMENT PLAN?
It is a plan that describes how our school will provide opportunities to improve family engagement that will support student learning at school and at home. All students and their families are invited and encouraged to fully participate in the opportunities described in this plan. The school will provide information and as many opportunities as possible for the participation of all family members. 
WHAT IS A SCHOOL-FAMILY PROMISE?

It is a written agreement that outlines how the school, the students, and the family will work together to ensure your child’s academic success. An effective School-Family Promise contains the following elements:

  • Clear learning goals that are linked to the school’s improvement plan
  • Specific skills students will learn during the year
  • Strategies that staff, families, and students will use to improve student learning
  • Ways to extend learning at home
  • Methods teachers and family members will use to communicate about student progress
  • Opportunities for family members to observe and participate in the classroom
  • Jointly-developed by families, school staff, students, community business partners, and other stakeholders during our Planning Meeting
  • We will review and revise The School Family Promise with families throughout the school year at the Annual Parent meeting and during the Fall and Spring Parent Teacher Conferences.
  • We will also encourage families to review The School Family Promise located on the School Website and My Payments Plus.

ENGAGING AND EMPOWERING FAMILIES WITH…

  • Title I Program Information: Program information is available during the Title I Planning Meeting in the spring and Annual Parent Meetings in the fall, on the school website, and in the Parent Center.
  • Curriculum Information: Knowing what your child is learning at school is important. We will keep you informed throughout the year about what your child is learning during parent meetings, conferences, ParentSquare, and on our school website.
  • Student Progress Monitoring: The Parent Portal is an online resource that allows families to view grades, attendance, schedules, assessment, and your child's results, course history, and much more. Monitoring your child’s progress in school is an important way to be engaged.
  • Family Resources: We have many resources available for checkout to use at home with your child. We also host several parent workshops to empower you as you work with your child at home.
  • Staff Training: We will train our staff to effectively communicate with you. Your input on how we train our staff is valuable.
  • Communication: We will communicate, to the extent feasible, all information with you in a language and format you understand.  Whenever possible, we will provide interpreters during parent workshops, and academic events. Translation is available for most documents.
  • Transition Support: Entering a new school can be scary for both students and families. We will host events to make sure both you and your child are aware of what is expected and how you can prepare as your child transitions to a new school level, college, and career.
