To ensure effective involvement of parents/families and to support a partnership among the school, home and community to improve student academic achievement, Riverview Elementary will:

• Host an annual meeting inviting all parents and families of children receiving Title 1 services. The purpose of this meeting will be to inform parents and families of the Title 1 program guidelines, encourage parent and families ’ participation in the educational process, and initiate constructive feedback to improve Riverview’s Title 1 services.
• Involve parents and families in making appropriate changes to the Title 1 programs to accommodate the diverse needs of our students.
• Provide parents and families with an explanation of the school’s curriculum, assessment policies, and proficiency levels students are expected to adhere to.
• Offer assistance to parents and families on how to monitor a child’s progress and communicate with educators to improve the academic achievement level of their children.
• Make available materials and training sessions to parents and families in order to foster home involvement in the child’s academic environment. These sessions may include literacy training, mathematical intervention strategies, writing strategies, etc.
