The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information are available on our school’s website at https://www.gcpsk12.org/AndersonLivseyES under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of this Family and Community Engagement Plan in our Family Engagement Center.

It is reviewed and revised at least annually during the Planning Meeting in the spring. All feedback forms from the Planning Meeting are submitted to the Office of Federal Programs for review. Families who are not able to attend the Planning Meeting have the opportunity to review draft documents and provide input during the draft document review period.

Our school communicates in a family-friendly language and format. Some of the ways we will foster effective communication include Parent Square, Parent/Teacher conference, student agendas. Friday folders, Parent porta, email, school website, and phone conferences.

If you would like to request a meeting with your child’s teacher, please reach out to the teacher via email, parent square, or phone and he or she will contact you within 24 hours to set up an appointment.

Please contact your grade level Assistant Principal if you require further assistance.

Anderson-Livsey Elementary School’s Local School Plan for Improvement (LSPI) goals focus on increasing the percentage of students performing at the highest levels on I-Ready assessments and the Georgia Milestones in Math and Language Arts.

Foundational Skills to support goals:

ELA – Reading fluency and comprehension

Math – Fluency and problem‐solving skills

It is a plan that describes how our school will provide opportunities to improve family engagement that will support student learning at school and at home. All students and their families are invited and encouraged to fully participate in the opportunities described in this plan. The school will provide information and as many opportunities as possible for the participation of all family members.

It is a written agreement that outlines how the school, the students, and the family will work together to ensure your child’s academic success. An effective School-Family Promise contains the following elements:

· Clear learning goals that are linked to the school’s improvement plan

· Specific skills students will learn during the year

· Strategies that staff, families, and students will use to improve student learning

· Ways to extend learning at home

· Methods teachers and family members will use to communicate about student progress

· Opportunities for family members to observe and participate in the classroom

· Jointly-developed by families, school staff, students, community business partners, and other stakeholders during our Planning Meeting

· Reviewed and revised throughout the year

· Anderson-Livsey will review the Plan.Promise with families during parent/teacher conferences and parent workshops throughout the school year.

As Students, we will…

• Spend time at home practicing reading comprehension skills learned at school.

• Spend time using technology resources, reading books, magazines and/or newspapers together with my child using reading and math strategies learned at literacy and math workshops to support my child’s learning at home.

Anderson-Livsey is committed to frequent two-way communication with families about student learning. Some of the ways we will foster effective communication include Parent/Teacher conferences, student agendas, Friday Folders, Parent Portal, email, school website and phone conferences.
