The County Board recognizes that parents/guardians are their children's first and most influential teachers and that continued parental involvement in the education of children contributes greatly to student achievement and conduct. Parents/guardians can directly affect academic success by reinforcing their children's motivation and commitment to education. Supplemental Education Services (SES)- We are able to facilitate after-school tutoring services for students who need additional academic help. For more information click here.
Teachers and parents/guardians can better understand and meet student needs if they work together. All of our schools have a duty to communicate frequently with the home and to help parents/guardians develop skills and family management techniques which support classroom learning. Administrators and teachers should keep parents/guardians well informed about school expectations and tell them when and how they can assist their children in support of classroom learning activities. The County Board encourages staff training in effective communication with the home.
The County Board encourages parents/guardians to serve as volunteers in the schools and to attend student performances and school meetings.
Our County Office of Education receives funding from many sources, one of which is Title I, Part A, a grant from the federal government. As a condition for receiving these funds, NCLB requires all states to create academic standards that identify what a child should know and be able to do at each grade level in English-language arts and mathematics. Schools test students each year to determine if they are proficient in these subjects. Each school is reviewed annually to determine if students at that school are making adequate yearly progress (AYP). For more information contact Greta Nash at gnash@acoe.org or 510-670-4245.
