Family and Parent Engagement Plan

Coppell Middle School East Parent and Family Engagement Policy

In support of strengthening student academic achievement, each school that receives Title I, Part A funds must develop jointly with, agree with, and distribute to, parents of participating children a School Parent Involvement Policy that contains information required by Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The policy establishes the school’s expectations for parental involvement and describes how the school will implement a number of specific parental involvement activities.

What is it

Coppell Middle School East is committed to the CISD Mission: “Working together we are committed to profound learning experiences for each child, while nurturing meaningful relationships to positively impact our world” We focus on our four core values of collective engagement, great teaching, redefining success, and authentic relationships.

One way we continue to do this is by participating in the Title I, Part A State Program. This program provides funding for low socioeconomic schools. In return, we promise to meet the expectations laid out for us by the Texas Education Agency and the United States Department of Education.

Funding

Title I funds will be allocated for the implementation of the parent and family engagement program. Such programs, activities, and procedures will be planned and implemented with meaningful consultation with parents of participating children.

Review

All use of funding and activities can be reviewed by the Texas Education Agency upon request to ensure they meet the need of the PFE Program.

Family Meetings

Parent Meetings offer a time for the school and family to communicate necessary information. These meetings will always take place in the library unless otherwise communicated in the weekly newsletter. Meetings are scheduled monthly and will be held at 6:00 PM on the following dates: Sept 11, Oct 2, Oct 30, Nov 27, Jan 29, March 4, April 1, and April 29. Other meetings and trainings can be scheduled throughout the year and will be communicated in the weekly newsletter.
