Parent Involvement Goal:
Based on the analysis of the parent involvement data, identify and define an area in need of improvement.

The goal of Lauderdale Lakes Middle School is to increase parental involvement by 25% for the 2018-2019 school year. The school's lowest quartile and non-proficient population could highly benefit from increased parental involvement. As a result, parent breakfasta and other literacy trainings will be hosted to inform parents of ways they can assist with education at home. Throughout the school year, $2724 will be used to  purchase materials and refreshments for parent to participate in these workshops, which will positively impact student achievement.
