The Tussey Mountain School District recognizes that a child's education is a responsibility shared by the school and family and agrees that to effectively educate all students, the schools and parents must work as knowledgeable partners.

We define parent and family involvement as an on-going process that assists parents and families to meet their basic obligation as their child's first educator, promotes clear two-way dialogue between home and school and supports parents as leaders and decision makers at all levels concerning the education of their children.

To this end, a written plan for chapter 1 parent involvement that establishes programs and practices to enhance parent involvement and reflects the needs of students and families will be jointly developed by parents and school staff.  The plan will be unique to each school and
provide a sense or direction for designed initial and on-going activities.

The plan will also include a school-parent compact and support the development, implementation and regular evaluation of the parent involvement program by parents.  Implementation of the plan will be a priority of the SCHOOL COMMUNITY.
