Title I - Parental Involvement

Parents can help their children be more successful by:

• Assisting your child in ways that enrich what the teacher is doing
• Learning more about the school and becoming involved
• Supporting your child and the school
• Making decisions about your child's education
• Finding out what your child is supposed to learn to meet the standards for his or her grade-level
• Finding out what your child is being taught
• Finding out how the Title I program is helping your child meet the standards
• Keeping in close touch with your child's teacher
• Making sure your child does his/her homework
• Attending parent-teacher conferences
• Talking with your child about school
• Becoming a school volunteer

You, as Title I Parents, have the right to the following:

• Request the qualifications of your child's teachers 
• Be involved in the development of Arab City School System's Title I Plan
• Be involved in the development of Arab City School System's Parental Involvement Plan
• Be involved in the development of APS/AES's Continuous Improvement Plan
• Be involved in the development of APS/AES's Parental Involvement Plan
• Be involved in the development of the School-Parent Compact
• Be involved in how the Homeless, English Language Learners, and Parental Involvement set-aside money is spent

 

An annual Title I meeting is conducted every spring to evaluate the Title I program, plans, and compacts.  You can participate in the development by attending the spring meeting at your child's school.  The date and time of the meeting will be sent home with your child in April.  

 

 

We also need parent liasons for Title I parents at each Title I school. The parent liason will be another contact person for Title I parents and the schools. The parent liason will serve on the Federal Programs Parental Advisory Committee. For more information, or if you are interested in serving as a parent liason in your school please contact Stacie Pace at 256.586.6011 or [email protected].
