West Oxford Elementary School is committed to the belief that all children can learn and acknowledges that parents share the school’s commitment to the educational success of theirchildren.

We recognize that a child’s education is a responsibility shared by the school and family and agree that to effectively educate all students, the schools and parents must work as partners.

We define parent and family involvement as an ongoing process that assists parents and families to meet their basic obligation as their child’s first educator, promotes clear two-way dialogue between home and school, and supports parents as leaders and decision makers at all
levels concerning the education of their children.

Families and school staff will jointly develop the Title I Parent Involvement Program. Appropriate offerings and practices are offered to enhance parent involvement activities and reflect the needs of the students and families. Our school’s parent program will provide a guideline for
designing continuing rewarding and beneficial experiences for students, families and staff.
