DISTRICT PARENT INVOLVEMENT PLAN
The Haakon School District is committed to providing a quality education for every child as is stated in our Philosophy and Objectives.
PART 1
The District supports all schools in implementing parent involvement.
 Every two years a meeting is held to provide Title I parents the opportunity for input into the planning, implementation and evaluation of the Title I program.

Title I parents are encouraged to send comments or suggestions to our website during any time of the year.
 Title I parents will serve on committees for any Title I revision work and for district strategic planning.
PART 2
The District will provide technical assistance and support to its Title I schools in planning and implementing effective parent involvement activities. The District will:
 Assist its schools in identifying clear and measurable goals for parent involvement.
 Actively support staff and promote efforts that increase the level and quality of parent involvement.

Provide parents and staff information and materials on required and effective parent involvement policies and practices.
 Assist Title I schools with ideas in reaching hard to reach parents and parent involvement activities.
 Collaborate with the parents and other community agencies to provide activities that build capacity for parents to assist learning and participate in school processes, such as Science Day, Ag Day, Math Night or other family unity activities.
PART 3
The District will build the schools’ and parents’ capacity for parent involvement by providing materials and training (if needed) for school staff and parents. The District will:
 Educate school staff and parents in the value of contributions of parents and how to reach out to, communicate with and work with parents as equal partners and to build ties between parents and the school.

DISTRICT PARENT INVOLVEMENT PLAN

Provide information and, if needed, assistance to schools and parents in understanding state academic content and performance standards; state and local assessments; the requirements of Title I and how parents can assist in their child’s education.
 Provide information to its Title I schools and parents on the District’s parent resources available. (Parent Resource Network)
Part 4
The District will coordinate Title I parent involvement activities with other parental involvement programs. The District will:
 Coordinate Title I parent involvement activities, to the extent feasible and appropriate, with other public or private programs (Head Start, Birth to Three,
Private Pre-School and Day Care Centers, and Community Health Agency).

Collaborate with state and community agencies to inform schools and parents of literacy training and parent education.
Part 5
The District will conduct an evaluation of the content and effectiveness of the parent involvement policy, assess parent involvement, and inspect the barriers to parental participation that need to be addressed with parents. The District will:
 Conduct a meeting for parents including Title I parents to evaluate the above statement and current policies. If revisions to this policy and other related factions of this policy are made, these revisions will be in place for the following school year.
Part 6
Parents will have input into the funding for parent involvement through the District school planning process.
