1 2015/2016 Parental Involvement Policy for Title 1 Reading and Math ' general Parental Involvement Policy, File: IGBC, recognizes the fact that the education of each student is a responsibility shared by the school and the student's family. Further, the Page County School Board endorses the parental involvement goals of Title I while encouraging participation of parents of all children. In addition, will cultivate and support active parental participation in the educational process as detailed below. Parental Involvement Policy and Practice Requirements No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), Title 1. Section 1118: In carrying out the assurance concerning parental involvement, ' Title I Division Staff will ensure that each school will: Notify the parents of the specific instructional objectives for their child(ren); Schedule conferences between individual parents and teachers at least once a year; Schedule meetings and conferences to accommodate varying parental needs; Provide information to parents about plans regarding assessments and evaluations; Provide newsletters and/or workshops for parents to help promote the education of their children at home; Solicit parents' suggestions in the planning, development and operation of the Title 1 program; Create a district parent advisory council which will: o o o o o o Consist of at least two parents form each Title 1 school; Be chaired by a parent; Provide input into Page County Public School's Comprehensive Plan as well as the plan for utilization of all consolidated grant funds; Provide input into the Parental Involvement Policy; Provide input into their individual school's annual plan and/or school improvement plan; Convene 3 district meetings per year. There shall be funds in the Title 1 budget specifically to disseminate Title I information and to carry out parental involvement activities: o The application will state the specific amount of funding; and the district parent advisory council will assist in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of parental involvement activities. will hold an annual parent meeting at each school receiving Title 1 services in the fall of each school year at which it shall: o Inform parents of their right to be consulted in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Title 1 Program; o Encourage parents to become involved in their child's education; o Inform parents of the specific instructional objectives of their children; o Inform parents of the assessments used to evaluate student progress; o Provide parents with information on their child's achievement on state assessments as soon as possible; o Provide parents information regarding whether their Title I teachers/paraprofessionals have met state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels/subject areas taught.

2 There will be dissemination to continually inform parents and the public-at-large of Title I activities. All dissemination shall encourage parental involvement and consultation. The following methods will be used to meet this requirement: o o o o Newspaper articles, Parent programs, School newsletters, Letters sent home to parents; and Title I newsletters or notices. Title I teachers will be available during parent/teacher conference days to discuss student progress and to give suggestions to parents on how to help their children at home with their studies. The Title I Office will provide timely information concerning the Title I Program and plans for each school year while allowing sufficient time for parents to contribute their input and be involved in the planning process. The Title I Office will conduct, with the involvement of parents, an annual evaluation of the content and effectiveness of the parental involvement policy in improving the academic quality of schools served. Attention will be given to identifying barriers to greater participation by parents in planned activities, with particular attention to parents who are economically disadvantaged, are disabled, have limited English proficiency, have limited literacy, or are of any racial or ethnic minority background. The findings of such evaluation will be used to design strategies for more effective parental involvement and to revise the parental involvement policies. If a parent wishes to file a formal complaint, the Title I Office will provide the proper form to the parent, and work within the time frame and procedure as established in the complaint resolution procedure. A Parent's Right-To-Know No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Title I.

4 735 W Main St, Luray, VA Superintendent: Donna L. Whitley-Smith (540) The Commonwealth of Virginia is committed to providing a quality education for all students. The Virginia School Report Card provides transparent information about the performance of Virginia s schools. School accreditation and federal accountability ratings for a specific school year are based on student achievement on tests taken during the previous academic year. Proficiency Gap Dashboard for Federal Accountability Under Virginia s approved Elementary and Secondary Education Act waiver application, schools must meet increasing targets referred to as Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) in reading and mathematics for all students, three Proficiency Gap Groups, and other subgroups in order to meet federal accountability requirements. Schools have three ways to meet the AMOs: test results from the most recently completed school year, test results based on a three-year average, or by reducing the failure rate by 10 percent. High schools must also meet the federal graduation indicator for all groups. Proficiency Gaps report the differences in performance of traditionally underperforming student subgroups as compared with established AMOs. The AMOs vary by Proficiency Gap Group based on performance of students in each group on SOL tests administered in ; however, AMOs in reading and mathematics will increase annually until when the reading objective will be 78 for all groups and the mathematics objective will be 73 percent for all groups. Proficiency Gap Dashboard for Federal Accountability Summary of Accountability Results Federal Accountability Did Not Meet All Federal AMOs In order to meet all federal AMOs, a school division must meet the AMO target for all Proficiency Gap Groups below and all subgroups listed on page 2.

5 Federal Annual Measurable Objectives Under federal requirements, Virginia is required to establish annual measurable objectives (AMOs) for proficiency in reading and mathematics test participation and performance for all subgroups. In addition, schools with a graduating class must meet federal graduation requirements for all subgroups of students. The table below displays whether or not the subgroups represented at the school met federal AMOs. More detailed federal AMO data are available in this report card.
