Title I at LGE. . .
• LGE is required to create a School-Wide Plan (SWP), with input from the Leadership Team, School Council and Leadership Team, outlining plans for the academic achievement of all students.
• Title I resources and requirements are included in the SWP.
• The SWP is continuously revised based on current data and the needs of LGE students.
• Schools are also required to plan how they will involve parents in the education of their children. Each school must write, with the help of parents, a school Parent Involvement Plan.
How Does Title I at LGE Support Families…
The school’s Parent Involvement Plan describes how schools and families work together to help children succeed.
Parents and schools come together and sign the Parent - School compact which is an agreement between the school and the parents about how they will work together to support the child’s learning. This is a “living document” which will be reviewed at PAWS Conferences and revised to meet individual student needs, if necessary.
What is a Family
-School
Compact?
A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that
parents, students and teachers develop together. It explains
how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all
our students reach grade-level standards.
Effective compacts:
Link to goals of the school im
provement plan
Focus on student learning skills
Describe how teachers will help students develop
those skills using high-quality instruction
Share academic strategies parents can use at home
Explain how teachers and parents will communicate
about student progress
Describe opportunities for parents to volunteer,
observe, and participate in the classroom
Jointly Developed
The parents, s
tudents and staff at Locust Grove
Elementary developed this School-Parent
Compact f or Achievement. Teachers suggested
home learning strategies, parents added ideas to
make them more specific, and students told us
what would help them learn. Yearly meetings are
held to review and update the Compact based on
student academic needs.

School Plan for Shared Student Achievement What is it? This is a plan that describes how Locust Grove Elementary will provide
opportunities to improve parent engagement to support student learning. Locust Grove
Elementary values the contributions and involvement of parents in order to establish an
equal partnership for the common goal of improving student achievement. This plan
describes the different ways that Locust Grove Elementary will support parent engagement
and how parents can help plan and participate in activities and events to promote student
learning at school and at home.
How is it developed? Locust Grove Elementary School welcomes parent input and
comments at any time regarding the plan. All parent feedback will be used to revise the plan
for next year. The plan is posted on our school website for parents to view and post
feedback throughout the year. We also distribute an annual survey online and by backpack
mail to ask parents for their suggestions on the plan and the use of funds for parent
involvement. Parents can also give feedback during our annual Title I Night and the Wildcat
Support Team meeting to revise the plan for the upcoming school year.
Who is it for? All students and their families are encouraged and invited to fully participate
in the opportunities described in this plan. Locust Grove Elementary will provide full
opportunity for the participation of parents with limited English, parents with disabilities and
parents of migratory children.
Where is it available? At the beginning of the year, once the Plan is accepted, it will be
distributed to all students. Parents can also retrieve a copy of the plan in the Parent
Resource Center.
What is Title I? Locust Grove Elementary is identified as a Title I school as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Title I is designed to support State and local school reform efforts tied to challenging State academic standards in order to reinforce and enhance efforts to improve teaching and learning for students. Title I programs must be based on effective means of improving student achievement and include strategies to support parental involvement. All Title I schools must jointly develop with all parents a written parental involvement policy.
