Parent/Family Involvement Mission & Vision

DCPS Title I Parent Involvement mission is to empower parents and families to support their children's cognitive and social-emotional development from the cradle to the workforce and/or college. We will accomplish this by strengthening district, school, family and community partnerships through support and training.

To ensure that students become productive and responsible citizens, Title I Family Involvement Center staff, family members, and community agencies will work cooperatively to increase and strengthen family and school partnerships.

The Title I program for parents is designed to:

• Inform parents about Title I regulations
• Involve parents in local Title I decisions
• Provide literacy training
• Offer parental training in schools and the community on ways to raise student achievement via at home activities
• Encourage active participation in their child(ren)’s schools and education
