This opportunity provides parents and students to join us at the beginning of the school year (for 1st-5th grades) and prior to the start of school for our pre-K and kindergarten students. During this event, teachers will meet their students and families, share important information, and provide opportunities for families to stay involved and connected throughout the school year.

Strategic Plan 2020-2025
This guiding document, Blueprint 2025, is provided as a high-level overview of the district’s plan. In addition, we have provided a breakdown of strategies by goal.
Due to the significant and ongoing impact of COVID-19, designation of benchmarked measurable outcomes for each year is difficult to establish at this time. The district will use the 2021 spring assessment results as a baseline for yearly targets based upon each goal.

Parent Resource Center |
Parent and Family Engagement |
|---|---|
|
Materials at the front desk are available with information. Many of these materials
have strategies for improving your child's success at school. Our school counselor has
information available for any services or
needs that families may have.
|
This ensures that parents are full partners in their child’s academic development and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child. |
Long Mill Elementary believes that parental involvement means the participation for parents in regular two-way and meaningful communication about student academic learning and other school activities.
School Improvement Team |
Ways to Contact the School |
|---|---|
|
Your School Improvement team is made up of a teacher from every grade level and department, an Instructional Assistant, a parent representative (PTO President), our school counselor, school social worker, Instructional Coach, Assistant Principal and our Principal. Your Team works to set goals
that will positively impact both student achievement and school climate.
They have developed checkpoints to measure progress toward the goals
as well as designating the person who will provide leadership for implementation of each goal. As goals are met, your School Improvement Team raises the bar for students and teachers. Your team meets twice monthly to share information toward progress on meeting goals and also receives feedback concerning matters of importance.

We want to hear from you. If you have suggestions or if there is any part of this plan that you feel does not align with the students’ and schools’ goals for academic achievement, please email one of the following school representatives.
