Hello, DLEACS’ Families!
Title I Federal Guidelines state that schools receiving Title I funds must
have a written Parent Involvement Plan that is developed with input from
parents. Parents and staff worked together to develop goals and activities
for this 2011-2012 Dr. Lena Edwards Academic Charter School Title I
Parent Involvement Plan at the Coffee Talk meeting on September 27,
2011. We strive to give everyone the chance to provide input and/or
suggestions.
Dr. Lena Edwards Academic Charter School defines parent involvement as
the participation of parents in regular two-way, meaningful communication
involving student academic learning and other school activities. We ensure
that:
A. parents play an integral role in assisting their child’s learning;
B. parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education
at school.
C. parents are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as
appropriate in decision-making to assist in the education of their child.
Working With the Community: Identifying and using resources and services
from the community to strengthen school programs, family practices, and
student learning and development.

resources and services! Listed below are some of the many organizations that
