Establish an effective evaluation process for those programs
Teacher Goals and Responsibilities
Establish clear, concise expected learning results
Monitor results
Provide high quality instruction and resources
Provide timely information to parents and students
Distribution Information
The Parent Involvement Policy for Shoshone Elementary will be posted in the school, as well as on the school web site. A copy of this policy will be included in the student handbook in both Spanish and English. Information related to school events and parent meetings will be communicated in both English and Spanish to parents through invitations sent home with students. Classroom teachers will provide achievement test information during conferences and parent meetings. Printed information will be sent home. The compact outlines how teachers, students, and parents will share in the responsibility for improved student achievement. This compact will be discussed with students and sent home for your review and signature.

Parents will receive information and have opportunities to participate in activities planned throughout the school year. Opportunities will be provided for parent input regarding the education of their children through surveys and parent-teacher conferences.

The school and family working together is an essential dynamic that can help students achieve the expected learning results of the school. We believe parental involvement has the greatest influence when the school personnel, students, and parents share responsibility for the growth and development of each student.
