Parental Involvement Policy
Paul Revere Middle School is a school-wide Title I, Part A campus that strongly believes
parental involvement is essential to reaching the academic objectives for our students.
Parents have the right to be involved in the planning, review, and improvement of
Revere’s Title I program and parental involvement policy.
It is Paul Revere’s mission to collaborate with parents and the community to promote and
develop each child’s unique needs through:


Delivering innovative and rigorous instruction

To ensure students not only acquire strong academic skills, but also become responsible,
productive citizens.
With Revere working collaboratively with parents we believe that we will be that much
closer to reaching our goal. Parents and community leaders are welcome to visit our
campus and participate in a variety of meetings and activities:

Revere Middle School will offer a flexible number of meetings, which will be scheduled
in the morning and/or evening to accommodate all parents. Title I funds enables Revere
Middle School to sponsor and implement these and other parental involvement activities
to promote on-going parental participation.
Our school holds an annual Open House where the principal presents his “vision” for the
year while introducing the Title I school requirements. Our Parent Resource Center is
located in the school’s library and is available to all parents during school hours. Parents
have access to computers to log-on to Parent-Connect and monitor their child/children’s
academic progress. An organized PAC has been established at Revere that works in
conjunction with the PTO to create a forum for parental discussion and input. We also
use a variety of other avenues to connect with parents such as, Revere’s School
Newsletter, Revere’s School Website, PAC meetings, PTO meetings, SDMC meetings,
ARD meetings, Parent/Teacher Conferences, the electronic school sign, parent phone
calls though school messenger, and Connect Ed. In addition, individual notes, progress
reports, and report cards are sent home with students.
Revere Middle School will assist parents with understanding the Texas Essential
Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness
(STAAR), and other district assessments. A description and explanation of the
curriculum used at Revere, the forms of academic assessment used to measure student
progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet will be addressed. Our
school will provide materials and training to help parents work with their children, such
as literacy training and using technology to foster parental involvement. Computer
classes are available for all parents.
Revere’s goal is to work diligently with parents and teachers to achieve academic success
and achievement for our students. Therefore, we will send home a school-parent compact
that outlines how parents, the entire school staff, and students will share the responsibility
for improved student academic achievement. These compacts will be used to motivate
parents and students to become involved in the educational process and serve as a
reminder to parents that they are equal partners in their child’s learning.
If the school-wide program plan is not satisfactory to the parents of participating children,
the school will submit parents’ comments on the plan to the Department of External
funding and revise the plan as advised by the HISD Title I, Part A Parental Involvement
Program Administrator and other District designees as advised.
