Summary of Fuguitt Elementary School
Parent Involvement Plan (PIP)
Parent Involvement Policy (PIP) for Fuguitt Elementary School states:
Our school Compact and Parent Involvement Plan is jointly developed by parents and other stake holders. In an effort to build the capacity of our parents we will offer Open House/Curriculum Night, Parent Teacher Conferences, Parent Portal Guide, and Parent Workshops. Additionally, our staff will build their capacity by participating in Leader in Me Academy and Building Bridges, in order to create an atmosphere that is conducive to parental involvement and highest student achievement. We also coordinate with other federal programs such as Title I programs, and the Individuals with Disabilities Act.
Each year we review our Compact and Parent Involvement Plan, parent input is essential to this process. Parents will be notified of the review date by the Annual Parent Meeting. We offer flexible meeting times by scheduling meetings in the afternoon, the evening and on Saturdays, in an effort to reach as many parents as possible.
