JRE's Parent & Family Engagement Policy
The Parent and Family Engagement Policy is the foundation of home, school, and community
partnerships. It sets forth the expectations for parent engagement activities and describes how these
activities will be implemented and evaluated. You can read the policy:
• On the school’s website at tinyurl.com/JREFamilies
• In the Front Office
• In the Parent Resource Center located in the Media Center
If you have any comments, concerns or suggestions, please contact April Kisner at april.kisner@gscs.org or 770-229-3717
School-Parent-Student Compact
A School-Parent-Student Compact is an action plan for our school. The compact states our school’s goals which have been agreed upon by parents, teachers and students and how we can relate them to increased student academic achievement. The compact outlines how the parents, entire school staff and students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement.
Our school goals are:
Jackson Road Elementary students (K-5) will demonstrate a 5% increase in Projected Proficiency as measures on the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) in Reading and Math.
In order to meet Title I requirements, the compact cover sheet must be signed, dated and returned to the school. Compacts were distributed during Open House. If you did not receive a compact or if you would like to give us feedback on the compact, please contact your contact information. We look forward to working with you to help your child achieve greater academic success.
District Parent and Family Engagement Policy
Like the school level Parent and Family Engagement Policy, the District Parent and Family Engagement Policy outlines the expectations for parent engagement activities and describes how these activities will be implemented and evaluated at the district level. You can read the policy by one of the following ways:
• GSCS Parent Engagement Page website
• New Student Orientation Packets found in the front office of your school
• The Parent Resource Center located at 234 E. Taylor Street in room 121
Additionally, the District Parent and Family Engagement Policy will be sent to all parents via U.S. mail on or before November 1. 2023. If you have any comments, concerns or suggestions, please contact Federal Programs at (770) 229-3700.
