Parent and Family Engagement
At RPS, the participation of parents play an integral role in assisting their child's learning. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's education. Parent are full partners in their child's education and are included, when appropriate, in decision making as well as being a part of the Advisory Committees to assist in the education of their child. Policies, that are jointly developed with parents, guide what we do in parental involvement. Each Title I school jointly develops a Family- School Compact that outlines how parents, teachers, and students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement.
