Parental involvement is a combination of commitment and active participation on the part of parent to the school and to the student. As parents you can ensure that your child receives the benefits from parental involvement by staying up to date on what is happening in the classroom.

Tulsa Public Schools is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he or she needs to succeed in school and beyond. As a result, these involvement opportunities empower parents to take action. By connecting parents to school officials, community members, other parents, knowledge, and powerful allies, these opportunities build bridges and networks that support schools and sustain whole communities.

PATRICK HENRY ELEMENTRY SCHOOL PARENT INVOLVEMENT PLAN

2018-2019
PURPOSE:  

Patrick Henry Elementary School, a part of Tulsa Public Schools, shall promote parent involvement as mandated by Title 1, ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) of 2015 and work as equal partners with parents in providing quality education for every student, every day, without exception.  We at Patrick Henry Elementary believe building a solid educational foundation at the elementary level will improve the future success our students.

The TPS Board believes and acknowledges that parent involvement enhances the academic achievement level of students.  Additionally, parents become empowered, teacher morale improves, and communities grow stronger when parents take an active role in educating their children.   To this end, schools shall involve parents in the education of their children at all grade levels.  The Superintendent or his/her designee shall provide coordination, technical assistance, and other support necessary to assist all schools in planning and implementing effective parent involvement activities, to improve student academic achievement and school performance.  Public Law 107-110, No Child Left Behind; section 118-Title 1 Parent Involvement establishes that to build capacity for parent involvement within schools, a district is to “develop jointly with, agree on with, and distribute to parents of participating children a written Parent Involvement Policy”. 

Building Parents’ Capacity for Involvement

The TPS Board and Patrick Henry Elementary believes that empowering parents to insist on improvement and giving schools extra incentive to do so and by giving parents options regarding their children’s education helps the district to realize its vision is “Excellence and High Expectations with Commitment to All” for patrons of the community.  As a result of this belief, the Board shall create an environment of supportive and collaborative parent involvement.
