Mission Statement
Vanguard Academy Charter School, the entire school staff, students and parents/guardian will build a partnership and be committed to provide support, resources and academic rigor to ensure that all students achieve educational and social excellence.
Statement Purpose
Vanguard Academy Charter School administration, faculty, support staff, parents/guardian and community will develop, agree upon and distribute to parents/guardian a written Parental Involvement Policy and School-Parent/Guardian-Student Compact. This policy will set expectations and establish a framework for quality parental involvement participation. This policy will be achieved as part of the district’s improvement plan. Vanguard Academy Charter school values the role parents/guardians play as their children’s first teacher and the influence of their continued support towards their child’s ability to meet the state’s student performance standards.
The policy is in compliance with the legal requirements of ESSA. This policy will be available to all parents/guardians of Vanguard Academy Charter School and distributed annually through the Student-Parent/Guardian Handbook.
The Title I Parental Involvement Policy and School-Parent/Guardian/Student-Compact will be reviewed and distributed to parents/guardians during the fall of the school year through registration, Meet the Teacher, Open House, special called meetings or other campus-level initiatives.
The School-Parent/Guardian/Student-Compact will outline the means by which parents/guardians, school, and students will share responsibility for improved student academic achievement and mastery of the state’s high standards. Annual review and revisions are required for the district and campus’ improvement plan process. Vanguard Academy encourages parents/guardians to discuss the compact with their child/children and teachers.
An annual Title I public meeting will be held in the fall to inform parents/guardians of the district’s participation in Title I, Part A and it’s requirements. The parents/guardians will also be informed of their right to be involved.
Vanguard Academy will offer a flexible number of meetings SBDM, LPAC, special called and/or campus level to ensure the planning, review and evaluation of Title I, Part A programs, including Parental Involvement Policy and School-Parent/Guardian- Compact.
