The Plan / The Promise

The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other  Title I information are available on our school’s website at (insert school’s website) under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of this Family and Community Engagement Plan in our Family Engagement Center.  

 

It is reviewed and revised at least annually during the Planning Meeting in the spring. All feedback forms from the Planning Meeting are submitted to the Office of Federal Programs for review.  Families who are not able to attend the Planning Meeting have the opportunity to review draft documents and provide input during the draft document review period.  

 

Rockbridge communicates with parents in a family-friendly format through a variety of methods and media, including but not limited to: Parent meetings and workshops, Parent-Teacher conferences, school newsletters, phone calls, Parent Square app, emails, the school website, Facebook, and the Family Center. All parents are notified in advance of meetings and workshops. Interpreters and translations are provided to the extent practicable. Parents may call (770) 326-8090, or visit the Family Center, if they have questions or would like more information.

 

The Blueprint for the Future is the strategic plan for Gwinnett County Public Schools. This plan is organized into four strategic priorities, each with three specific goals. To ensure success, these goals have clear objectives and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track and measure progress. Each year schools review their data to identify areas for growth and set long-term goals to improve them. This information is used to create a Local School Plan for Improvement (LSPI) aligned to the district's priorities. School staff, families, and community members participate in providing input for the LSPI. Families can easily access the latest strategic plan on the Gwinnett County Public Schools' website.
