Average Yearly Progress (AYP) was achieved for the 2010/2011 academic year in communication arts and mathematics. Soldan also achieved state and federal standards in attendance and graduation rates. Under Title I - No Child Left Be- hind, school districts across the country are given proficiency targets which must be achieved. If schools do not achieve the targets, the school falls into a status of “Needs Improvement.” Because Soldan was able to achieve AYP, the status of “needs improvement” is now delayed. This status will be removed once the school achieves AYP for the 2011/2012 academic year. This performance can be repeated as the school, parents, and the community continue to work together!

Average Yearly Progress (AYP) was

achieved for the 2010/2011 academic

year in communication arts and

mathematics. Soldan also

achieved state and federal standards

in attendance and graduation rates.

Under Title I - No Child Left Be-

hind, school districts across the country are given proficiency targets which must be achieved. If schools do not

achieve the targets, the school falls into a status of “Needs Improvement.” Because Soldan was able to achieve

AYP, the status of “needs improvement” is now delayed. This status will be removed once the school achieves AYP

for the 2011/2012 academic year. This performance can be repeated as the school, parents, and the community

continue to work together!

“It’s impossible for any two people to ever see things exactly the same.” -Margaret J. Wheatley

On September 22, 2011, the community gathered to-gether in the gymnasium of Soldan to meet families and friends of our students. Twenty two booths were needed to accommodate colleges and universities, organizations and other public entities who were on hand to give out free information. The AFROTC and Faculty from Soldan sponsored this event. According to Major Sims, chairperson of the Extravaganza, this was the best attended event so far. Over 629 people participated this year. Equally as exciting were the number of booths available this year, twenty two was the largest community par-ticipation ever!

After a brief welcome from Dr. Cason, guests were invited to a dinner. Smaller children were invited to participate in activities geared toward little people while adults went to gather their information from the vendors. Starting at 7:15 p.m., families and community mem-bers were entertained by various clubs from Soldan. Dancing, cheering, and music were performed by the students and band members, offering a sample of the artistic opportunities available at Soldan. Thank you to all those who participated and came out for the 2011 Family and Commu-nity Extrava-ganza!

In Septem-ber, the Ti-tle I Parent/Student/School Com-pact was sent home for parents and students to review, sign and return to the school. I am happy to report that over 65% of parents par-ticipated and sent their form back to school. If you have not received the Compact please call Ms. O'Leary at 314-367-9222 for a copy.

Title I ~ No Child Left Behind

What is Title I?

Title I (pronounced “Title One”) is the

largest federal aid program for elemen-

tary, middle and high schools. The pur-

pose of this title is to ensure that all chil-

dren have fair, equal, and significant

opportunity to obtain a high-quality

education and reach, at a minimum, pro-

ficiency on state academic achievement

standards and state academic assess-

ments.

The purpose of Title I is to improve the

academic achievement of disadvantaged

students. This is accomplished through

the use of funds with plans created by

qualifying, individual buildings. Services

in many schools include Supplemental

Educational Services which provide tu-

toring to identified students and transi-

tion services for our neglected and delin-

quent students.

Parental Involvement

All Title I programs must have a written

parent involvement policy stating how

the district and school will support the

important role

of parents in education. The school’s

parent involvement plan must include a

“parent compact” which is a written

statement of what schools and parents

are each to do to help students achieve.

Title I requires that parents be consulted

and involved in school planning, imple-

mentation, and evaluation of projects

and activities to improve the quality of

teaching and learning. Family Resource

Specialists are to encourage and increase

parent involvement activities in St. Louis

Public Schools. (See Below)

Parents Right to Know

Under Title I parents have the right to

know:

qualifications of teachers and para-

professionals who instruct their child

the level of achievement of their

child on each of the states’ academic

assessments

if a child has been assigned, for four

or more consecutive weeks, to a

teacher who is not highly qualified

as defined by the law.

Options for Parents of Children

in Needs Improvement School

PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE: After a

school is identified as failing, parents may

request the transfer of their children to a

better performing public school or a char-

ter school if it has space available.

SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES: Federal

Title I funds can be used to provide sup-

plemental educational services such as

2011/2012 Parental Involvement Plan

1. Strategies for Parental Involvement

Information about Title I was disseminated to parents in the first issue of the newsletter. A meeting was held on October

21, 2011 to explain Title I information and explain parental rights as outlined under Title I.

Parents will receive a calendar of events, meetings and activities. Information regarding any changes in dates or activities

will be noted on the web site, newsletter and email.

Parent meetings will be held quarterly (usually in the morning or in the evening). Parents will receive notification through

flyers, phone calls, and email (eblasts).

A newsletter will be distributed, at least quarterly, containing information about current/upcoming activities, student

achievement, grade level information and parent tips.

Parents will be notified of the “best time” to reach teachers to ensure parents receive full attention. Parents are also wel-

come to schedule time if needed.

Assessment results will be provided along with report cards.

Two-way, meaningful communication will be provided in a format and language (as available) which can be understood by

parents through flyers, newsletters, calendars, email and updated school website.

2. Shared Responsibilities For High Student Academic Achievement

A Parent/Student/Teacher compact, outlining the responsibilities of all parties to support learning and high academic

achievement, was distributed to all students. Parents are responsible for supporting their child’s learning through monitor-

ing daily attendance, homework, volunteering and reviewing/reinforcing the Code of Student Conduct and school rules.

Parents are asked to stay involved by attending parent/teacher conferences, participating in PTO meetings and following-

up on communication sent home.

Teachers will create and distribute to families course syllabi. Parents are asked to review each course syllabus to determine

class requirements to assist in achievement of student academics in a timely and on-going manner.

3. Expanding Opportunities for Parental Involvement

Office and technology resources are available to all parents during school hours with an appointment.

Coordinate parental involvement with existing programs, activities and performances such as home finance, the Academic

Center and math workshops.

Create a Parent Resource Room to offer parenting suggestions and provide information to parents about child development.

Invite parents to offer feedback (written or verbal) about school procedures, staffing, or services offered to support the

school and home partnerships.

Involvement suggestions are susceptible to change based on the feedback of the parents and their participation.

What Is the Par-

ent Involvement

Plan?

The Involvement

Plan is designed

for parents and

schools to come

together and de-

velop a strategy

to increase paren-

tal involvement

and to help pro-

mote meaningful

two-way commu-

nication between

the school and

home. Being

involved or volun-

teering does not

always mean you

must come to the

school. Email and

phone numbers

have been made

available on the

web site to assist

with communica-

tion.

O’Leary know
