TRAICE Academy Parent Involvement Plan
In support of strengthening student academic achievement, TRAICE Academy receives Title I funds and therefore must jointly develop with, agree on with, and distribute to parents and family members of participating children a written parent and family engagement policy that contains information required by section 1116(b) and ( c) of Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The policy establishes the school's expectations for parent and family engagement and describes how the school will implement a few specific parent and family engagement activities, and it is incorporated into the school's plan submitted to the local educational agency.
TRAICE Academy agrees to implement the following requirements as outlined by Section 1116:
Involve parents, in an organized, ongoing, and timely way, in the planning, review, and improvement of programs under Title 1, Part A, including the planning, review, and
improvement of the school parent and family engagement policy and the joint
development of the schoolwide program plan under Section 1114(b) of Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA).
Update the school parent and family engagement policy periodically to meet the changing needs of parents and the school, distribute it to the parents of participating children, and make parent and family engagement policy available to the local community.
Provide full opportunities, to the extent practicible, for the participation of parents with limited English proficiency, parents with disabilities, and parents of migratory children, including providing information and school reports required under Section 1111 of the ESSA in an understandable and uniform format, including alternative formats upon
request and, to the extent practicable, in a language parents understand.
If the schoolwide program plan under Section 1114(b) of the ESSA is not satisfactory to the parents of participating children, submit any parent comments on the plan when the school makes the plan available to the local educational agency.
Be governed by the following statutory definition of parent and family engagement and carry out programs, activities, and procedures in accordance with this definition:
