Parent Engagement

Parental Engagement is the participation of parents in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities. The purpose is to ensure that parents play an integral role in their child’s learning and are active in their child’s education at school.

Opportunities For Parental Involvement

Some opportunities for parental involvement include:

Parent workshops and trainings
Parent advisory committees
School Council members
Parent volunteers
Parent-Teacher Conferences

My name is Mrs. Coaxum-Richardson, and I am Parent Liaison for Carver Middle School. A Parent Liaison works to bridge the gap between home and school by assisting parents in understanding ways they can help their children with academics.

During this school year, you will have an opportunity to attend parent workshops that will be offered at flexible times. Please look for information throughout the year regarding these workshops.

If you are looking for additional resources to assist your student at home, please visit our school Parent Resource Center located in the Front Office. Open during school hours, parents can browse through our assortment of games, manipulatives, brochures, pamphlets, and handouts to find wonderful resources to work with their child at home. Please feel free to contact us any time if you need support or information on how to improve your child's academic performance in school.

Compact & Handbook Information

Every year, students, parents, and school staff sign a compact or agreement. This compact outlines how parents, the entire school staff, and 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 to help children achieve the State’s high standards. This compact is given out at the beginning of each school year

Parental Involvement Policy

The purpose of the school parental involvement policy is to ensure that strong strategies are in place to: 1) build the capacity to involve parents in an effective partnership with the school; 2) share and support high student academic achievement. The school and parents must jointly develop and agree on the policy. It is revised every year to meet the changing needs of parents. Finally, the policy is distributed to parents.

The school district also has a school parental involvement policy. It is also revised every year. A copy of this document is distributed to parents as well. You may view the policy in PDF form by clicking the Parent & Family Engagement Handbook link above.
