Policy Involvement

Mountain View Elementary School's Parent and Family Engagement Plan will be presented at our Open House night event on August 21st, 2025. Parents are invited to complete a yearly parental involvement survey, attend quarterly District Parental Advisory Council meetings at Central Services, and attend quarterly Parent Advisory meetings at the school. Parents are also encouraged to help with PTO events, which may include serving on PTO, fundraising, and school-wide events. Parent Involvement is documented by signatures on an attendance sheet. Agendas and notes are provided in the school's Title I documentation.

Shared Responsibility for High Student Academic Achievement

The parent compact will be presented at our Open House event on August 21st, 2025. Parents, students, teachers, and administrators are asked to review the compact and sign, stating that they agree to follow the stated expectations. Parents are invited to conferences with their child's teacher quarterly. Teachers are available to answer or address any academic concerns. Parent nights are planned to provide opportunities for parents to learn new ways to support their child's learning.

Building Capacity for Involvement

Mountain View Elementary School provides parent nights so that parents can learn new skills to assist their children at home. Our Spanish Interpreter translates all publications, agendas, and documents so that Spanish-speaking families can have access to school information. She is also available to translate videos. She facilitates communication between the school and Spanish-speaking families during conferences and IEP meetings. The school also sends a monthly newsletter that includes strategies to help students. Parents are encouraged to participate in school activities.

Funding

School parent/student handbooks are bought and given to each family to inform them of dates of events, such as parent nights. The handbooks have information on the Parent Family Engagement Policy, Title I Parent Compact, as well as other procedures and information parents need to stay informed and involved in the school community. Remind is used to facilitate ongoing communication between school and students' families. Supplies are also purchased for take-home bags on our parent nights and for incoming kindergarten students' families to prepare them for beginning school in the fall.

This document was jointly developed with our Parent Advisory Council. Every meeting with our parents is documented with an agenda, sign-in sheet, and minutes of the meeting. For a copy of any of the documentation mentioned in this plan, please contact Katie Reeves at 336-696-5512.
