| A new school policy will be enforced throughout the school year: AT LEAST ONE ADULT FROM A STUDENT'S FAMILY WILL BE REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER AT LEAST 2 HOURS OF THEIR TIME EACH MONTH OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. Classroom teachers will keep a chart and compile the time volunteered. The volunteer time can consist of parents participating throughout the school day or attending parent meetings and proficiency sessions scheduled after school or on the weekends. In ant event, parents are strongly encouraged to come to the school at any time their schedule will permit to assist us with educational activities that support teaching and learning. We respectfully request that, for security purposes, parents follow the policy of CPS by checking-in with the office team and receiving a parent volunteer badge for the duration of their visit.
Parents will be expected to sign the Parent-Student-Teacher Compact at the Parent Orientation. The Compact will identify the ways each member of the village will work collectively to develop strategies and techniques for students to be consistently motivated to maintain high academic performance levels through daily attendance patterns, high proficiency scores, self-discipline, self-esteem, order, balance and harmony. The Compact will be reviewed periodically to ensure that all members of the village remain connected so academic excellence will be achieved. Parents will be expected to attend two "Parent Conference Days" as outlined in the school calender. Parent conferences must be scheduled in advance so all members of the village can maximize results through adequate preparation. All members of the village will be held accountable for the success of every student. The purpose of this policy will be to develop and maintain a "Sense of Oneness!" The staff, along with the active support of other members of the village, will develop and maintain a variety of ways to celebrate the success of the school in the following areas: Proficiency (Mind) Attendance (Body) Peace Management (Spirit) The development of an Africentric School that met the academic, social and emotional needs of young girls and boys was the recurring dream of visionaries from the African American community in Columbus, Ohio-Some of whom have passed over into the spirit worlde. We would do a great injustice to our African ancestors if we did not fully embrace this dream and make it become true. We all must continue to dedicate ourselves to achieving our academic goals. Undoubtedly, this feat will make the ancestors proud of our efforts, as well as the accountability from everyone in the village will guarantee academic sucess for student!" |
