C. Engagement State Priority: Parental Involvement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Parental Involvement State Priority (Priority 3): Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each schoolsite. Opportunities for Parental Involvement (Most Recent Year) Parental involvement is a critical component for the success of our students. Parents are highly encouraged to participate in their children s education by becoming parent volunteers, both inside and outside of the classroom. We encourage parents to volunteer inside the classroom. We encourage parent attendance to school events, such as Back to School Night, Open House, student performances, and parentteacher conferences. We provide our parents with translators when needed. English classes are offered to our parents on campus, and this better enables them to become even more active participants in their child s education. Parent workshops, covering various topics, are offered throughout the year. In addition, parents are highly encouraged to become active members of the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), School Site Council (SSC) and Parents and Teachers Association (PTA). These committees engage all members, including parents in school decisions that are vital to our students education. Parents are thereby empowered to make positive changes to our school. In the fall, at our annual Back to School Night, our Title I meeting is held to share with parents a description of the Title I program and its requirements. Van Wig elementary will provide a flexible number of opportunities to allow for parent involvement and to build capacity. These monthly meetings will be scheduled by the school in a variety of language groups. Meeting Opportunities and topics will include: School Site Council Meetings E.L.A.C. Meetings Coffee with the Principal P.T.A. Parent Empowerment Organization provides educational class sessions for parents. Improving communication between school and home. School and Family Compact Discussing current student assessment data and student progress. Providing information about school and district resources for student academic improvement.

Bassett Adult Education classes available at the school site. Parental input from the parent meetings and training sessions will be shared with the School Site council (SSC) to provide an organized, ongoing, timely way of involving parents in the planning, review, and improvement of the program. The school website is updated and monthly calendar is sent home informing parent/community of all meetings of interest. For special meetings, targeted language groups receive notice in their language. The school website, school marquee, monthly calendar, automated phone messenger system, are used to advertise parent meetings and training sessions offered at Van Wig Elementary School. Every attempt is made to communicate with parents in their primary language. During parent meetings, opportunities will be offered for parental input on all agenda items.

Topics that are appropriate for SSC review/action will be placed on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled meeting by the school administration. Parents are notified annually of individual student assessment results by the Bassett Unified School District Office and School Site.

School Safety Plan (Most Recent Year) Van Wig Elementary School is a closed campus and parents and/or visitors must first check in w ith the front office personnel. As a safety precaution, parents who want to volunteer their time must first be processed through the district office. Our campus aides, along with the administrator and teachers, maintain our children safe by monitoring our students when they get dropped off at school and when they are dismissed at the end of the day. Periodic checks are done throughout the day in all restrooms, hallways, and playgrounds to ensure student safety. This Comprehensive School Safety Plan (CSSP) was developed for Van Wig Elementary School in collaboration with outside agencies and the district office to fulfill Senate Bill 187 & 334 requirements. Components of this plan include child abuse reporting procedures, teacher notification of dangerous pupil procedures, disaster response procedures, procedures for safe arrival and departure from school, the sexual harassment policy, dress code policy, and bully prevention policy. The school s most current safety plan was reviewed, updated, and shared with school staff annually. Campus culture promotes a secure learning environment that encourages mutual respect, safe and healthy relationships, dignity, and equality. The district has employed policies, procedures, and practices to establish safe learning environments for students and staff. Students and their parents receive information annually regarding district policies. Van Wig Elementary, along with the Bassett Unified School District, will utilize Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports to establish a positive school climate. Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive system-wide framework for creating and maintaining safe and effective learning environments in schools, and ensuring that all students have the social skills needed to ensure their success at school and beyond. Each school site has established a Behavioral Statement of Purpose and School-Wide Behavioral Expectations. Van Wig Elementary is committed to fostering a positive learning environment, where students are safe, respectful, and responsible.

In addition, our school participates in emergency drills, including, but not limited to, fire, earthquake, and lock-down procedures. At our school, we work closely with the local Sherriff s department.
