Family Engagement Policy
At Julia Green Elementary School, our mission is to create a foundation that encourages compassion, tolerance, integrity, and a commitment to learning. If you have any concerns or suggestions regarding the Parent Involvement Policy, please contact Dr. Andy Davis via email.
Communication with Parents
- We will provide parents an explanation of the curriculum being used at Julia Green Elementary School, the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress, and the proficiency levels that students are expected to meet.
- We will strive to communicate clearly and effectively with parents by a variety of communication strategies including, but not limited to, weekly newsletter/listserv announcements, call-out announcement system, school website, progress reports, report cards, by mail, phone calls, and other emails.
- Parents will have access to Schoology/Parent Portal which allows parents to access their student’s grades, attendance, and assignments. Through this system, parents can set triggers to receive notifications about grades and attendance.
Meeting with Parents
- We will offer parent meetings and PTO meetings at various times.
- We will offer Parent/Teacher conferences throughout the year so that parents can meet with their students’ teachers and work together to help the student achieve academic success.
- We will provide opportunities for regular meetings with parents to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their student.
- The Julia Green Elementary School administration team maintains an “open door” policy with parents for phone calls, emails, and conferences.
Parent Participation
- We will collaborate with parents on the School Improvement Plan. Parents are an integral part of our school community and crucial to improving our school. Parents may serve on the SIP committee.
- We will offer assistance to parents in understanding Tennessee’s academic content standards, student achievement standards, and local academic assessments. We will also help parents to monitor their student’s achievement.
- We will assist students in successfully transitioning from Elementary School to Middle School. We will help with this transition by working with cluster middle schools.
- Julia Green Elementary School will continue to collaborate with community groups and business partners to improve student achievement, career-readiness, and to foster parent involvement.
