PURPOSE

A Title I, Part A PFE Liaison is the designated individual based at a school whose primary function is to connect the home and school in a positive, respectful, and welcoming manner. PFE Liaisons play a dual role of ambassadorship. They represent the school through thoughtful, meaningful, and culturally appropriate communications. They also represent the parent/family by understanding the many challenges that occur in the community. The PFE Liaison works to bridge the gap between home and school by helping parents get the information and support they need to ensure their child’s academic and social success.

POLICY FOR PARENT INVOLVMENT

Education succeeds best when there is a strong partnership and communication between home and schools. As key players in the education of their children, parents are involved in developing a policy which will achieve maximum effectiveness in the ties between home and school so that children will benefit from their time at school and the services provided by the Title I, Part A program. The parent involvement policy is one that is subject to change and revision in order to remain effective in meeting the needs of children who live in the district
