Who is it for?

Youngsville Elementary is a school-wide Title I School so all students are encouraged to fully participate in school opportunities that are described in this plan. The school will attempt to provide necessary accommodations to allow for opportunities from all families in regard to the Parent and Family Engagement Policy, school-parent compact, and the school/family engagement budget.

Where is it available?

Youngsville Elementary actively seeks to make the Parent and Family Engagement Plan readily available to all students and families throughout the school year. The plan is posted on the school website where it is available for all stakeholders. FCS also has a district policy that is posted on our FCS website. The home-school compact is sent home with students at the beginning of each school year. The PFE policy is also available during each Open House and scheduled parent meetings. It is also available upon request.

Strategic Plan 2020-2025

This guiding document, Blueprint 2025, is provided as a high-level overview of the district’s plan. In addition, we have provided a breakdown of strategies by goal.

Due to the significant and ongoing impact of COVID-19, designation of benchmarked measurable outcomes for each year is difficult to establish at this time. The district will use the 2021 spring assessment results as a baseline for yearly targets based upon each goal.

Parent and Family Engagement School Goals

Youngsville Elementary School will take the following measures to promote and support parents as an important foundation of the school in order to strengthen the school and reach our school goals:

Ensure that all information related to school and parent programs, Title 1 Meetings and other activities are published in English, Spanish, and other languages if necessary. Utilize all communication tools to share information on meetings and programs including the school website, social media, and Blackboard.
Ensure that parents have access to curriculum expectations for each grade level through the school webpage. Teachers also provide information in
communications.
Maintain an open line of communication with parents including phone calls, email, conferences (in person or virtual), Blackboard, automated calls, and all school related social media.
Respond and put parents in touch with the correct support staff as needs arise- such as the school counselor, literacy specialist, data manager, administrator, technology, etc.
Provide workshops and information sessions that will help parents improve student achievement. Sessions can be in the form of in-person, virtual, or previously recorded.
Offer literacy and technology assistance to parents in order to help enhance their knowledge in support of student achievement.
Collect feedback from parents in order to respond to parent requests for additional support.
Provide volunteer opportunities for parents to engage with students in a school setting.
