Concord Middle Parent/Family Engagement Plan

Concord Middle believes involving parents and family members is an essential component of nurturing our students and promoting their growth. We welcome parent and family input to ensure the success of our students. We will regularly communicate information about curriculum, assessments, and school events as well as any changes that may occur through a variety of different platforms, including social media, ConnectEds, and the school website. Parents are also asked to give input through a Parent Satisfaction Survey each year. Parents are always welcome to call our front office staff and if they do not know the answer, they are able to contact the appropriate school personnel and obtain the requisite information. We also will have a translator available to assist, as needed.

Every year this Parent/ Family Engagement Plan is printed in our Student Handbook along with a copy of our Title I Compact. At the beginning of each year, teachers, parents and students sign this compact, which develops a partnership between them in order to support student success. As a MTSS school, we promote responsible student behavior. In addition, essential information is communicated through Social Media and Parent Square on a weekly basis.  All parents are encouraged to communicate with teachers on a regular basis if they have any concerns regarding their student. Parents may request a teacher conference throughout the year, as needed. A translator will be provided, if needed.

Within the first quarter of the school year, a Curriculum Night will be held. At this event, parents can learn about the grade level curriculum and Title I program, review state testing data, and join the PTO. Parents are also invited into classroom events a few times a year to see students learning “in action” within the classroom, as well as learn strategies to assist their children at home.

PTO meetings will also be held quarterly and all parents are invited to attend. The PTO Board will also meet each month. In addition, parents are invited to serve on our School Improvement Team, which also meets the first Wednesday of each month. The PTO Board and School Improvement Team are great ways for parents to participate in the work and planning of our school. If you would be interested in serving, please let your child’s teacher know.

Concord Middle embraces the philosophy of providing an environment that welcomes all parents and community members to be a part of our student learning process.  We will continue to encourage businesses to partner with our school, especially businesses owned by families of students who attend Concord Middle. Input and feedback from parents will be solicited through the use of parent surveys and conferences. Parents are encouraged to contact an administrator with any suggestions or questions they may have and to be active within the school!
