FAMILY
ENGAGEMENT plan
2006-2007
A
parent is a child’s first teacher and parental involvement is essential in
obtaining a high quality education for their children. This Family Engagement Plan was developed
jointly with our parents, staff and community members to help reach the goal of
preparing our parents to be knowledgeable of the skills and information needed
to help their children to be successful learners.
