Panther Press: November 21

Title I Engagement Policy & School Improvement and Innovation Plan

Title I Engagement Policy and Compact is distributed to all caregivers. Caregivers have opportunities to provide comments and feedback on the policy and compact through PTA meetings, the Annual Title I Meeting, School Events, and our family liaisons as well as the link below.

Comments are submitted with the school’s policy and compact to FCPS central offices and the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE). This policy and compact are made available to the broader school community through the school website.
