Shepherd Elementary Parent Involvement Policy
(as aligned to ISS BOE Policy 1310/4002)
As the instructional leader of Shepherd Elementary School, it is my goal to involve
parents in the education and well being of our students whether it involves
decision-making or instruction.
Like Iredell-Statesville Schools’ goals, my goals for parental involvement also
include:
• Meaningful two-way communication between school and parents;
• Promotion of responsible parenting;
• Involvement of parents in student learning;
• Promotion of volunteering;
• Involvement of parents in school decisions that affect children and families;
• Parental training;
• Community collaboration;
• Promotion of student health awareness.
Where the word “parent” is written it is understood that it may also read
“guardians” or “legal custodians” of students, as applicable.
