Community Engagement

Public Holler 1 hour, 8 minutes ago

The Community Engagement holler is dedicated to the development of a school – community resource matrix that will firmly connect the school and community to learning targets and focuses on matching needs to available resources.

    I’m so thankful that we have a great relationship with our local radio station. They have allowed us to come in and share our school’s story. As we have grown and changed, they allowed us again to come in and share an updated version of our story. They also sent us the file so we could post to various social media platforms. I encourage you to…[Read more]

    LMS has created a Parent Support Group in an effort to encourage parental involvement. Our first meeting was not the response that we envisioned. After reflecting on our first meeting, we concluded the time needed to be changed so more parents could participate. We felt that the plan we had for it was strong so we did not revisit our initial idea.

    • Profile picture of Jennifer Couch
      Jennifer Couch replied 2 months, 2 weeks ago

      Our second Parent Support Group meeting was much more successful because of the time change. Participating parents expressed their gratitude towards the time change.

      I hope we have a big turnout of parents for our Polar Express night. It’s tough to get parents in to middle and high schools.

        I agree. We have tried and tried. Even had food for the majority of the events.

    • Profile picture of Dixie Combs
      Dixie Combs replied 2 months ago

      Family engagement is a struggle, but meeting parents where they are has helped us. We find success in getting folks engaged through home visits that are friendly and consist of topics outside of attendance.

          Try saving them to your desktop so they are easier to find. When you click the button to upload, make sure your file type is changed to all files and not just custom files.

    We are planning on having a Writing Community Night in the Spring. We had so many things happening in the Fall, that we decided to wait and have it after Christmas Break.

    To date, I have began contacting the community looking for specific involvement in the writing night. Attached is my flyer.

    The plan is to also push out on social media and…

    Reflecting on our Community Theory of Action plan: Including data sharing with school parties has been very positive. It is encouraging to hear Students read their goals and explain their progress. It seems to have boosted their self pride and holds them accountable on a personal level as they are responsible for relaying this information.…[Read more]
