The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information are available on our school’s website at

https://www.gcpsk12.org/StriplingES under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of this Family and Community Engagement Plan from the school’s Parent Center. As new students enroll after the school year begins, our Registrar provides a copy of Title I documents and information to parents during registration.

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.

At Stripling Elementary School, we communicate with parents in a way that is easy for them to understand. We explain educational terms and school information in common language. We communicate via email, Friday Folder, phone calls, and students’ agendas.

We provide information in English and Spanish in print format and on our school’s website. In addition, Stripling Elementary School has bilingual staff to support bilingual communication between parents and school personnel. Stripling Elementary also provides bilingual interpreters during parent-teacher conferences.

Parents may request a meeting with their child’s teacher, counselor, or administrator via phone call, email, or written request. Stripling Elementary School. 6155 Atlantic Blvd. Norcross, GA 30071 770-582-7577 | Fax 770-582-7586 http://www.striplingelementary.org
