What is my role as a parent in supporting my child’s success?
Parents are an important part of the Title I team and are partners with the school in helping all students achieve. Title I parents have certain rights. As the parent of a child in a Title I school, you have the right to:
- Be involved in the planning and implementation of the parent involvement program in your school
- Request progress reports on your child and school
- Request information about the professional qualifications of your child’s teacher(s) including the degrees and certifications held, and whether the teacher is certified in their respective area of instruction
- Know if your child has been assigned, or taught by a teacher that is not highly qualified for at least four consecutive weeks
- Help develop your school’s plan for how parents and schools can work together
- Help decide if Title I is meeting your child’s needs, and offer suggestions for improvement
