Rockbridge ES Title I Parent/Family - “Pre-K to K” Empowerment Series:

Hello Families,

This is a follow-up to a commitment to develop a parent and family engagement activity in honor of “The National Parent and Family Engagement” month. The project chosen is the "Transition to Kindergarten Empowerment Series”. This project has long term and far-reaching benefits – because it is a continuum process. This series is designed to empower our families with preschoolers and pre-K children, in preparing them to enter "Kindergarten", “Ready To Learn More”!

The Goals of this “Pre-K to K” EMPOWERMENT SERIES are as follows:

For Families….

To learn fun ways to build a foundation in your child for learning.
To integrate techniques (at home) that are embedded with basic literacy skills in that will help instill self-confidence in your child to be good communicators, readers, listeners, and eventually writers.
To integrate techniques (at home) that enhances basic math awareness that will help instill self-confidence in your child to recognize math as practical, useful, and needful in everyday life.
To minimize separation anxiety of both (parent and child) when it's time for your child to leave home and start regular school.
To turn everyday living into learning opportunities, that will contribute to your child being "Ready for Kindergarten"

“What Is Title I?”

Rockbridge Elementary School is a Title I School, thus we receive Federal funds that enable us to provide electronic, digital, and other educational resources along with qualified personnel to provide quality instruction to all our students. Additionally, Title I funds our Scholastic and IXL programs, instructional coaches, the parent liaison personnel, online parenting resources, an educational resource loan-library, and more.

In terms of the overall school's initiatives, a Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP), a Rockbridge Title I Policy, and a yearly School-Parent Compact Agreement are documents developed to meet the reporting and accountability requirements of the legislation and District's guidelines. We provide opportunities for input and feedback to all our parents, guardians, staff, and stakeholders in the on-going pursuit of excellence, school improvement, students' growth and academic success.

For your convenience, the link for each document is attached below. We ask that you download and read them. Although we schedule official Title I Input Meetings annually for input, we also provide a 24x7 online forum stakeholders may use for input on a 24X7 basis. If necessary, hardcopies may be obtained in our school front office and in the Rockbridge ES parent center. Free downloads of current documents are available from our parent liaison's Classroom Dojo page and the links below. We have also provided a link for you to submit your feedback on these documents.

As you will see when you download the school's policy and compact, there is a link where you may submit any comment or feedback throughout the year. (It will be review for inclusion in the revision for FY22, as deemed appropriate and feasible.
