School Family and Community Compact

 

SCHOOL FAMILY INVOLVEMENT AGREEMENT 2025-2026

Truscott Elementary School, and the families of the students participating in activities, services, and programs funded by Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA, agree that this compact outlines how the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and the means by which the school and parents will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the Colorado Department of Education’s high standards.

Truscott  Elementary School will:

  • Involve families in the joint development of any school wide program plan, in an organized, ongoing, and timely way.
  • Hold an annual meeting to inform families of the school’s participation in Title I, Part A programs, and to explain the Title I, Part A requirements, and the right of families to be involved in Title I, Part A programs.  The school will convene the meeting at a convenient time to families and will offer a flexible number of additional family involvement meetings, such as in the morning or evening, so that as many families as possible can attend.  The school will invite to this meeting all families of children participating in Title I, Part A programs, and will encourage them to attend. 
  • Provide information to families of participating students in an understandable and uniform format, including alternative formats upon the request of parents with disabilities, and, to the extent practicable, in a language that families can understand.
  • Provide information to families in a timely manner about Title I, Part A programs that include a description and explanation of the school’s curriculum, the forms of academic assessment used to measure children’s progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet.  Academic information can be shared with families as requested and at family-teacher conferences held in October 2025 and March 2026 and our family engagement nights throughout the year.
  • Provide families opportunities to volunteer and participate in their child’s class, and to observe classroom activities.  Families assist in classrooms and participate in before, during, and after school activities.  The PTO Volunteer Coordinator facilitates communications with volunteers, calls families to help at school on various projects, and responds to staff requests for additional help.  Each year, Lincoln staff show our appreciation to our volunteers with a breakfast celebration.  The celebration honoring volunteers is held in April. 
  • Provide to each family an individual student report about the performance of their child on the State assessment in at least math, and language arts.
  • Provide each family timely notice when their child has been assigned or has been taught for four (4) or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified within the meaning of the term in section 200.56 of the Title I Final Regulations (67 Fed. Reg. 71710, December 2, 2002).
