Family Engagement and Support

Overview: Consistent, culturally-appropriate two-way communication with parents/guardians about their student’s progress and support needs; provision of support and learning opportunities for family members; peer support and leadership opportunities for parents/guardians whose children have been successful in the program and who want to “give back”. Engagement and support will include, but is not limited to:

• Weekly academic and behavioral progress report update (derived from data)
• At least twice weekly phone calls to and/or face to face meetings with families
• The development of an “Alumni Program” in the school
