Tile I Schoolwide School Improvement Plan

The 2009-2010 School Improvement Plan is now available on the web.  The plan can be accessed by visiting http://www.acps.allconet.org/assets/uploads/file/BE%20SIP.pdf.  Parents are welcome to review and provide written comments on this plan at anytime throughout the school-year.  A copy of the plan is also available in the school office for review and comment as well.  We value your input in our continuing School Improvement efforts!   

Title I Tips:

Parent Involvement Plan

Parents are invited to help plan activities for all parents at our school.  The activities are based on our Title I Schoolwide Plan.  We hope that you will come to these activities that are held during the year.  We would also like you to help us plan these activities so that they are enjoyable and interesting to you.  These activities support Joyce Epstein's six components of parent involvement: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the community.

This plan is related to the Allegany County Public Schools' Parent Involvement Policy which values your participation in your child's education.  Parents are directly involved in the development of the plan.  The parent involvement plan is posted at the school and is distributed annually to parents.  Parents are asked to review the plan and provide feedback at the school.  

For more information in regards to our Title I program, please refer to our school handbook.  The link is provided on the left side of our webpage under the "Main Menu" section.
