Title I School-Parent Policy

LPA’s Governing Board recognizes that parents are their children’s first and most influential teachers and that sustained parent involvement in the education of their children contributes greatly to student achievement and a positive school environment. The Director shall work with staff and parents to develop meaningful opportunities at all grade levels for parents to be involved in school activities: advisory, decision-making, advocacy roles, and activities to support learning at home.
