Federal Programs

As parents, you can influence the success of your scholar in school more than any teacher or federal program. You can become an active participant in the Title I Scholar/Family Engagement Policy here at Legacy. You can serve as a role model, showing your child that you support his/her education. You can assure your child that you are aware of his/her progress at school and teach your child that you support the school and the school is supportive of you.

Research shows that when parents are involved in the school, students usually do their best. You can become more involved by:

• Joining our Parent organization
• Volunteering at our school
• Attending parent-teacher conferences
• Communicating with your scholar’s teacher regularly, by writing notes, emails or calling the school
• Keeping your child’s teacher informed about events in his or her life which may affect his/her performance at school
• Discussing with your child’s teacher or parenting personnel other ideas for parent involvement
