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

Again, last year our parent involvement has increased. We started to include our students performing at all SAC/SAF meetings throughout the school year. This was a great way to improve attendance at our SAC/SAF meetings. We will continue to increase attendance by our planned activities per out Title 1 budget, which include the following: Open House start of the school year, SAC/SAF meetings at different times and days, parent meetings on instruction and curriculum, Kindergarten round up, Overview of Go Math computer program, and PTA nights.
