Title I, Parent Engagement Policy

Esperanza, with parents and family members, has jointly developed, mutually agreed upon, and distributed to, parents and family members of participating children in Title I, Part A programs the following requirements as outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) sections 1116 (b) and (c). 

 

Parent engagement policy is developed with parents and family members annually, and is updated in fall with the School Site Council.  Our Family Engagement Policy is shared with families at our Title One parent presentation nights, through Coffee with the Principal events, and is posted on our school website for reference.

 

Describe how the Local Educational Agency (LEA) involved has a school district-level parent and family engagement policy that applies to all parents and family members in all schools served by the LEA, and how the LEA may amend that policy, if necessary to meet the requirements (ESSA Section 1116[b][3]).

 

The Westside USD has a district-level Board Policy (6020 Parent Involvement and AR 6020 Parent Involvement) that applies to all parents and family members for both Title I and non Title I school sites (ESSA Section 1116[b][3]). The District policy is reviewed  by the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee annually and amended as needed.

 

Describe how parents and family members of participating children in Title I, Part A programs, may amend a parent and family engagement school policy that applies to all parents and family members, if necessary, to meet the requirements (ESSA Section 1116[b][2]). Describe how parents and family members of participating children in Title I, Part A programs are involved in jointly developing, distributing to, a written school parent and family engagement policy, agreed upon by such parents for carrying out the requirements in ESEA Section 1116(c) through (f) (ESSA Section 1116[b][1]):

 

This Esperanza policy describes the means of carrying out designated Title I, Part A parent and family engagement requirements pursuant to ESSA. The school site annually involves parents in the joint development and agreement of the policy, which is reviewed as part of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and through the site advisory groups, i.e., School Site Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), and Parent Teacher Association (PTA). The policy is updated and/or amended periodically through joint collaboration to meet the changing needs of parents and the school (ESSA Section 1116(b)[2]).

 

Describe how the school served by Title I, Part A funds holds an annual meeting, at a convenient time, to which all parents and family members of participating children shall be invited and encouraged to attend, to inform parents of their school’s participation under Title I, Part A and to explain the requirements and the rights of the parents to be involved (ESSA Section 1116[c][1]). Describe the steps that the school takes to offer a flexible number of meetings, such as meetings in the morning, afternoon, evening or other ways and may provide, with funds provided under Title I, Part A, for transportation, child care, or home visits, as such services relate to parental involvement (ESSA Section 1116[c][2]).

 

The Title I school convenes an annual meeting to inform parents of Title I students about Title I, Part A requirements and about the right of parents to be involved in the Title I, Part A program. TItle One presentations are hosted on campus quarterly, and in Site council Meetings monthly. All meeting notices are posted online, and in phone and email dialers.  Title one families are encouraged to participate through combined PTA  events, and are invited through email, phone dialers, schoolwide Dojo messages, and PTA social media postings.  Title One meetings are held both in person and online.  Parents are encouraged to attend TItle 1 Site Council Meetings, ELAC meetings, and Coffee with the principal events  to review programs, goals, academic progress, and to provide ongoing feedback and suggestions for program implementations.   Our school provides Email dialers with translations of meeting materials. Our school website provides translations of posted materials. ELAc meetings provide all information in both English and Spanish.  Parents are welcome to bring students and children to meetings, and presentations. In parent only events, staff are onsite to provide engaging student activities while families attend.

 

Describe how parents and family members of participating children are involved, and in an organized, ongoing, and timely way, in the planning, review, and improvement of programs under Title I, Part A, including the planning, review, and improvement of the school parent and family engagement policy and the joint development of schoolwide program plan under ESSA Section 1114(b), except that if a school has in place a process for involving parents in the joint planning and design of the school’s programs, the school may use that process, if such process includes an adequate representation of parents of participating children (ESSA Section 1116[c][3]).

Describe how the schoolwide program plan, ESSA Section 1114(b), is not satisfactory to the parents of participating children in Title I, Part A programs, submitting any parent comments on the plan when the school makes the plan available to the LEA (ESSA Section 1116[c][5]).

 

Esperanza  involves parents of Title I, Part A students in an organized, ongoing, and timely way in the planning, review, and improvement of the school’s Title I, Part A programs and the Title I, Parent A parental involvement policy ESSA Section 1114(b) and ESSA Section 1116[c][3]. If the schoolwide plan is not satisfactory to the parents of participating children in Title I, Part A programs, parents can submit comments on the plan when the school makes the plan available to the LEA (ESSA Section 1116[c][5]).   Parent members of PTA, School Site Council and ELAc are all invited to provide feedback and input on the parent compact. Once drafted, these stakeholders vote to approve the compact annually.  Esperanza involves parents in the planning of programs and services in the schoolwide plan through California Healthy Kids Surveys, The annual Needs assessment, the WASC team and through school site council meetings. Esperanza  involves a variety of  representation of parents of participating children, through an ELAC, Site Council, PTA through the annual Needs Assessment and ongoing feedback with the School Site Council. Esperanza submits parent comments through meeting minutes, and through recommendations to the site council to ensure all parent partners have the opportunity to engage and provide feedback in the schoolwide programs.

 

Describe how the school is providing parents and family members of participating children of Title I, Part A programs: timely information about programs under Title I, Part A; a description and explanation of the curriculum in use at the school, the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress, and the achievement levels of the challenging State academic standards; and if requested by parents, opportunities for regular meetings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their children, and respond to any such suggestions as soon as practicably possible (ESSA sections 1116[c][4][A-C]

 

The school provides parents of Title I, Part A students with timely information about Title I, Part A programs, curriculum, and assessments (ESSA sections 1116[c][4][A-C].   Espernaz parents and family members are are notified of programs supporting students through phone dialers, invitations for targeted students, in Title One parent meetings, PTA board meetings, PTA association meetings, through the school website, during ELAC and in monthly Site Council Meetings Parents are provided a description of the curriculum in use at the school both through the district website and through teacher letters sent home each semester. Parents and families are also able to access student digital curriculum accounts through student Powerschool logins.  Esperanza parents are informed of academic assessments used to measure student progress through phone dialers, emails, Schoolwide Dojo Posts, PTA social Media postings, and through flyers sent home.  Parents are notified of achievement levels of the challenging State academic standards through mailed student CAASPP results, quarterly parent NWEA reports, and through emails and phone dialer notifications of the California Dashboard school report cards.  Parents  have opportunities for regular meetings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their children during open forum meetings with the administrative team, through the School Site Council meeting, through Parent teacher conferences, during the Superintendent’s Advisory meetings, during ELAC, and during IEP/504 meetings.  All Esperanza Parent requests, feedback and suggestions are responded to within the forums presented. IEPs and 504 meetings are held within 30 days of meeting requests.

 

Esperanza’s Title I, Part A School Parent and Family Engagement Policy was developed jointly and agreed on with parents and family members of children participating in Title I, Part A programs on (Insert Date). The School will distribute the policy to all parents and family members of participating Title I, Part A students annually on or before December 11, 2025.

Title I, Parent Engagement Policy

Esperanza, with parents and family members, has jointly developed, mutually agreed upon, and distributed to, parents and family members of participating children in Title I, Part A programs the following requirements as outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) sections 1116 (b) and (c). 

 

Parent engagement policy is developed with parents and family members annually, and is updated in fall with the School Site Council.  Our Family Engagement Policy is shared with families at our Title One parent presentation nights, through Coffee with the Principal events, and is posted on our school website for reference.

 

Describe how the Local Educational Agency (LEA) involved has a school district-level parent and family engagement policy that applies to all parents and family members in all schools served by the LEA, and how the LEA may amend that policy, if necessary to meet the requirements (ESSA Section 1116[b][3]).

 

The Westside USD has a district-level Board Policy (6020 Parent Involvement and AR 6020 Parent Involvement) that applies to all parents and family members for both Title I and non Title I school sites (ESSA Section 1116[b][3]). The District policy is reviewed  by the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee annually and amended as needed.

 

Describe how parents and family members of participating children in Title I, Part A programs, may amend a parent and family engagement school policy that applies to all parents and family members, if necessary, to meet the requirements (ESSA Section 1116[b][2]). Describe how parents and family members of participating children in Title I, Part A programs are involved in jointly developing, distributing to, a written school parent and family engagement policy, agreed upon by such parents for carrying out the requirements in ESEA Section 1116(c) through (f) (ESSA Section 1116[b][1]):

 

This Esperanza policy describes the means of carrying out designated Title I, Part A parent and family engagement requirements pursuant to ESSA. The school site annually involves parents in the joint development and agreement of the policy, which is reviewed as part of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and through the site advisory groups, i.e., School Site Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), and Parent Teacher Association (PTA). The policy is updated and/or amended periodically through joint collaboration to meet the changing needs of parents and the school (ESSA Section 1116(b)[2]).

 

Describe how the school served by Title I, Part A funds holds an annual meeting, at a convenient time, to which all parents and family members of participating children shall be invited and encouraged to attend, to inform parents of their school’s participation under Title I, Part A and to explain the requirements and the rights of the parents to be involved (ESSA Section 1116[c][1]). Describe the steps that the school takes to offer a flexible number of meetings, such as meetings in the morning, afternoon, evening or other ways and may provide, with funds provided under Title I, Part A, for transportation, child care, or home visits, as such services relate to parental involvement (ESSA Section 1116[c][2]).

 

The Title I school convenes an annual meeting to inform parents of Title I students about Title I, Part A requirements and about the right of parents to be involved in the Title I, Part A program. TItle One presentations are hosted on campus quarterly, and in Site council Meetings monthly. All meeting notices are posted online, and in phone and email dialers.  Title one families are encouraged to participate through combined PTA  events, and are invited through email, phone dialers, schoolwide Dojo messages, and PTA social media postings.  Title One meetings are held both in person and online.  Parents are encouraged to attend TItle 1 Site Council Meetings, ELAC meetings, and Coffee with the principal events  to review programs, goals, academic progress, and to provide ongoing feedback and suggestions for program implementations.   Our school provides Email dialers with translations of meeting materials. Our school website provides translations of posted materials. ELAc meetings provide all information in both English and Spanish.  Parents are welcome to bring students and children to meetings, and presentations. In parent only events, staff are onsite to provide engaging student activities while families attend.

 

Describe how parents and family members of participating children are involved, and in an organized, ongoing, and timely way, in the planning, review, and improvement of programs under Title I, Part A, including the planning, review, and improvement of the school parent and family engagement policy and the joint development of schoolwide program plan under ESSA Section 1114(b), except that if a school has in place a process for involving parents in the joint planning and design of the school’s programs, the school may use that process, if such process includes an adequate representation of parents of participating children (ESSA Section 1116[c][3]).

Describe how the schoolwide program plan, ESSA Section 1114(b), is not satisfactory to the parents of participating children in Title I, Part A programs, submitting any parent comments on the plan when the school makes the plan available to the LEA (ESSA Section 1116[c][5]).

 

Esperanza  involves parents of Title I, Part A students in an organized, ongoing, and timely way in the planning, review, and improvement of the school’s Title I, Part A programs and the Title I, Parent A parental involvement policy ESSA Section 1114(b) and ESSA Section 1116[c][3]. If the schoolwide plan is not satisfactory to the parents of participating children in Title I, Part A programs, parents can submit comments on the plan when the school makes the plan available to the LEA (ESSA Section 1116[c][5]).   Parent members of PTA, School Site Council and ELAc are all invited to provide feedback and input on the parent compact. Once drafted, these stakeholders vote to approve the compact annually.  Esperanza involves parents in the planning of programs and services in the schoolwide plan through California Healthy Kids Surveys, The annual Needs assessment, the WASC team and through school site council meetings. Esperanza  involves a variety of  representation of parents of participating children, through an ELAC, Site Council, PTA through the annual Needs Assessment and ongoing feedback with the School Site Council. Esperanza submits parent comments through meeting minutes, and through recommendations to the site council to ensure all parent partners have the opportunity to engage and provide feedback in the schoolwide programs.

 

Describe how the school is providing parents and family members of participating children of Title I, Part A programs: timely information about programs under Title I, Part A; a description and explanation of the curriculum in use at the school, the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress, and the achievement levels of the challenging State academic standards; and if requested by parents, opportunities for regular meetings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their children, and respond to any such suggestions as soon as practicably possible (ESSA sections 1116[c][4][A-C]

 

The school provides parents of Title I, Part A students with timely information about Title I, Part A programs, curriculum, and assessments (ESSA sections 1116[c][4][A-C].   Espernaz parents and family members are are notified of programs supporting students through phone dialers, invitations for targeted students, in Title One parent meetings, PTA board meetings, PTA association meetings, through the school website, during ELAC and in monthly Site Council Meetings Parents are provided a description of the curriculum in use at the school both through the district website and through teacher letters sent home each semester. Parents and families are also able to access student digital curriculum accounts through student Powerschool logins.  Esperanza parents are informed of academic assessments used to measure student progress through phone dialers, emails, Schoolwide Dojo Posts, PTA social Media postings, and through flyers sent home.  Parents are notified of achievement levels of the challenging State academic standards through mailed student CAASPP results, quarterly parent NWEA reports, and through emails and phone dialer notifications of the California Dashboard school report cards.  Parents  have opportunities for regular meetings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their children during open forum meetings with the administrative team, through the School Site Council meeting, through Parent teacher conferences, during the Superintendent’s Advisory meetings, during ELAC, and during IEP/504 meetings.  All Esperanza Parent requests, feedback and suggestions are responded to within the forums presented.
