If I Could Do My Job Better Parents/Students proactive about education Students taking initiative

How will I get there? Parent Web -using the website -useful tool -contact w/teachers, counselors, administration This will strengthen the communication within the school and the district

Functions of Parent Web Keeps daily record -attendance -schedule (changes,etc) -report card -transcript -history of login information www.parentweb.flintschools.org

Parents/Students Able to check site from any Wi-Fi service area Email teachers vs. school visit More access to personal academic grades, marking period, or semester Students email counselors about specific questions Students will follow up with counselor on more pertinent concerns and relevant information…

How does this Benefit My Job Parents are able to communicate concerns to the direct person Parents can email teachers for make-up assignments and homework Parents have access to their child's daily attendance and grades, etc.. Cut down on traffic in office from students -students will have academic info only need update - or current info

When receiving an email, it allows counselors to have at 24hrs to get back with parents to answer concerns, instead of having a immediate response. Allow to set up appointments vs. office drop in

What about Parents not having Internet Service? Long-Range Planning District partners with cable company Low Income Family District Provides Voucher Cable Company Receive Internet and Cable services at income based rate

Purpose of Voucher The voucher is a partnership with the cable company and district. The voucher will state the families income and the families will have an agreement to keep their child in the district for the entire school year. This will also help the district to have current address and telephone information. If a family should move the district would receive the new parent contact information.

Parent Web Using Parent Web will keep parents informed on a continuous basis. This will help parents take initiative in their child’s education. Students will also take more responsibility in their own education as well, with keeping track of their grades. This will not only benefit myself on my job, but as a district in a whole. If I implement my Long Range Plan, this may very well attract families to the district and Parents will use Parent Web as TOOL! Pro active vs reactive
