Parent and Family Engagement

Family Engagement is an ongoing process that increases active participation, communication, and collaboration between parents, schools, and communities with the goal of educating the whole child to ensure student achievement and success.

Family Engagement means the participation of parents and family members in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including ensuring:

• That parents play an integral role in assisting their child’s learning.
• That parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education.
• That parents are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child.
• The carrying out of other activities, such as those described in Section 1116 of the ESSA.

Each of our Schools in the Meriwether School District has a Parent Engagement Coordinator that serves as a liaison for families and schools.  Below is a list of these coordinators and a link to their email.
