Eva Wolfe Elementary School’s Title I Parent and Family Engagement Plan for 2018-2019

The stakeholders at Eva Wolfe Elementary School believe that parent involvement is a vital
component in the education process and that parent involvement and support translate into
increased student achievement. Parents are valued at Wolfe ES, and therefore, the following
Parent Family Engagement Policy will be implemented.

 This policy has been jointly developed and agreed upon by the Eva Wolfe Elementary
School and parents of students served in the school pursuant to Title I. Eva Wolfe
Elementary School will convene an annual meeting at a convenient time for parents to
evaluate this policy. These meetings were held on September 6, 2018 and September 7,
2018. The school’s Parent and Family Engagement Policy developed by parents and
educators, will be distributed in an understandable and uniform format and to the extent
practicable, in a language parents can understand. The Parent and Family Engagement
and the Title I PowerPoint will also be made available to the community through the
school’s website. Eva Wolfe Elementary School will involve parents in SOT and PTA
monthly meetings in an organized ongoing, and timely way in the planning, review and
improvement of Title I programs, School Performance Plan, and Parent and Family
Engagement Policy.

 Eva Wolfe Elementary School had 40 parents participate in the District-Wide Parent
Survey. In another parent survey completed by outside educational consultants retained
by the Nevada Department of Education, over 200 parent responses were collected.
Overall, the results of both the 2017-2018 District-Wide Survey and the one completed
by the outside consulting firm indicated the parents were satisfied with the school
environment including the safety, physical building, and staff at Eva Wolfe Elementary
School. Results were utilized to identify strengths and areas in need of improvement.
The staff plans to increase communication and participation by advertising events
through ClassDojo, flyers, the school marquee, and the school website as well as
promoting subsequent parent events during parent meetings.

 Districtwide survey results were shared with parents on May 17, 2018, put on the school
website, and reviewed at the PTA meeting on September 5, 2018. Based on the survey
data, Eva Wolfe Elementary will focus on communicating with parents about resources
available at the school to assist struggling students. This information will be shared at
parent/teacher conferences and during parent trainings. There will also be links on the
school website.

 The Educational Involvement Accords are included within the registration process
through Infinite Campus. Parents must review Accords prior to completing their child’s
 registration. Administrators and teachers will have access to the Accords whenever
needed for parent/student conferences or other occasions.
 The administration and staff at Eva Wolfe Elementary School will:

A. Provide assistance to parents, as appropriate, in understanding such topics as the

Nevada Academic Content Standards, state and local assessments, the requirements
of Title I, how to monitor their student’s academic progress, and how to work with
the school staff to improve the achievement of the students through parent meetings,
academic nights, and monthly SOT and PTA meetings during the school year.

B. Provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning

environment enabling students to meet the Nevada Academic Content Standards. In
order to provide high-quality curriculum and instruction, teachers will participate in
professional development to strengthen Tier 1 instruction and provide appropriate
intervention and enrichment activities for all students during a daily
intervention/enrichment block. Teachers will continue to implement School-Wide
Positive Behavior Supports, a positive behavior support framework to ensure the
learning environment is supportive and positive for all students.

C. Use ClassDojo and Infinite Campus to communicate academic resources and

upcoming parent meetings and events.

D. Offer parent involvement activities in the school that will include opportunities for
parents to be involved in the following school activities:

 Parent Curriculum Overview Meetings

 Parent/Teacher Conferences
 Volunteering
 Academic Nights for Math, Science and Literacy
 Parent Teacher Association
 FACES Parent Training
 Annual Title 1 Review and Planning Meeting
 Appointments with teachers and administrators as per parent request

 Provide materials and training to help parents work with their children to improve the
student’s achievement, such as literacy training and using technology as appropriate, to
foster parental involvement. Provide access to educational resources for parents to use
together with their children. Materials and training will be provided to parents during Eva
Wolfe Math, Science and Literacy academic nights. In addition, access to educational
 resources for parents to use together with their children provided through flyers, the
school website, and ClassDojo.

 With regard to professional development, the administration will with the assistance of
parents, educate teachers and other staff in:
A. The value and utility of contributions of parents
B. How to reach out to, communicate with, and work with parents as equal partners
C. Implementing and coordinating parent programs
D. Building ties between parents and the school

The Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) team will provide professional
development throughout the year to teachers regarding strategies for responding to
parents in a way that makes parents feel valued as partners in their children’s
education.

In addition, the staff will continue training on cultural competency and other related topics.

 We will ensure that all information related to school and parent programs, community
resources, meetings, and other activities is provided to parents in a format and to the
extent practicable, in a language the parents can understand. Parents receive messages
through ParentLink, Class Dojo, and flyers.

 To the extent feasible and appropriate, Eva Wolfe Elementary School will coordinate and
integrate parent involvement programs with FACES, CCSD Pre-K Program, resource
centers, and other programs such as SafeKey and Boys’ and Girls’ Club, that encourage
and support parents in more fully participating in the education of their children.

 Eva Wolfe Elementary will provide reasonable support for parental involvement through
an open door policy with administration in which parents may request a meeting, make a
suggestion, or voice a concern. Parents are also invited to attend monthly SOT and PTA
meetings.
