PRIORITY IV: ENGAGED COMMUNITIES
We will work to foster strong partnerships with families, community organizations, and other stakeholders in order to expand opportunities and partnerships and promote communication and involvement. We will engage families and community members in the education process, building relationships with local businesses and organizations, and working collaboratively to address community needs.
GOAL 1: By 2027, our schools will experience consistently high levels of family/caregiver involvement and participation in school activities or events.
Year 1 Goals:
By 2024, we will monitor and improve communication methods for sharing information about school events.
During the 2023-24 school year, we will study family/caregiver involvement and participation in school activities or events that support academics and/or career or college readiness.
Following completion of the family/caregiver involvement study, we will develop an action plan for cultivating consistently high levels of family/caregiver involvement and participation in school activities or events, building on the established baseline data and moving to realize the 4-year goal.
GOAL 2: By 2027, all volunteers will be meaningfully connected to students and schools. We will increase partnership and mentorships for students to enhance student success.
Year 1 Goals:
By 2024, an analysis will be conducted to evaluate our existing mentorship programs and tools to measure effectiveness for students and volunteers.
By 2024, school staff members will identify and communicate ways for volunteers to be involved in schools. Identify potential mentoring partners and begin to establish or expand mentoring programs in secondary schools.
By 2024, we will remove obstacles that hinder volunteer registration and enhance the ease of the registration process by incorporating language and cultural considerations.
