Strategy 1 Student needs are met through consistent two-way communication between home and school. Action Plan Written communication is sent home from each classroom on a weekly basis. All teachers schedule and conduct grade level orientations for parents at the beginning of the year where classroom needs and expectations are addressed. During the orientation, parents are surveyed for ways they can assist in the classroom. Strategy 3 Students benefit from community resources.
Action Plan Create a directory of parent and community resources.
Strengths Parents, college students, and the Goshen community are invited to assist in student learning. Open houses, conferences and orientations provide parents and teachers opportunities to discuss and address student needs. Weaknesses Parents and community volunteers are not provided adequate training to meet the needs of students. Parents are not consistently updated regarding student learning. GOAL 1 Students, staff and parents maintain a positive community atmosphere through shared decision making and cooperative interaction.
