Parent Engagement Policies

The Yough School District welcomes and values the input of parents in their children's education and believes it is key to improving student academic achievement and school performance. 

 

According to Title I regulations, a school district must have a written parental involvement policy that sets the district’s expectations for parent and family engagement:
 Policy 918 Title I Parent and Family Engagement.pdf 

In addition, each Title I school must also have a parent and family engagement policy.  Below are links to these district-level and the building-level policies.  In addition, school-home compacts for each school can be accessed below.
