TITLE I, PART A: IMPROVING THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF THE DISADVANTAGED

Parent and Family Engagement Survey for Spring 2026

Dear Parents,

The survey allows your school and our district’s Title I Office to understand aspects of the parent/family-school relationship. Parents/guardians of students at your school should be allowed to complete the Family Engagement Survey. The information gathered will be used to guide continual improvement within our Title I schools to serve our students and their families better.

 The survey administration period is Wednesday, April 8, 2026, through Friday, May 15, 2026.
