School Plan for Shared Student Achievement

What is it?

How is it revised?

Who is it for?

Terrell Lane Middle School is a school-wide Title I School so all students are encouraged to fully participate in school opportunities that are described in this plan. The school will attempt to provide necessary accommodations to allow for opportunities from all families in regard to the Parent and Family Engagement Policy, school-parent compact, and the school/family engagement budget.

Where is it available?

Terrell Lane actively seeks to make the Parent and Family Engagement Plan readily available to all students and families throughout the school year. The plan is posted on the school website where it is available for all stakeholders. FCS also has a district policy that is posted on our FCS website. The home-school compact is sent home with students at the beginning of each school year. The PFE policy is also available during each Open House and scheduled parent meetings. It is also available upon request.

Strategic Plan 2020-2025

This guiding document, Blueprint 2025, is provided as a high-level overview of the district’s plan. In addition, we have provided a breakdown of strategies by goal.

Due to the significant and ongoing impact of COVID-19, designation of benchmarked measurable outcomes for each year is difficult to establish at this time. The district will use the 2021 spring assessment results as a baseline for yearly targets based upon each goal.
