Parent and Community Involvement Plan

Florence County School District Three (FCSD3) recognizes that a child’s education is a responsibility shared by the school and family during the entire time the child spends in school.  To support the goal of the schools to educate all students effectively, the schools and parents must work as knowledgeable partners.  Parents are an integral component of a school’s ability to provide for the educational success of their children.  The school endeavors to meet the diverse cultural and language needs of parents and children.  FCSD3 acknowledges that schools should foster and support active parental involvement.

In response to this commitment to active parental and community involvement and in compliance with the legal requirements of the South Carolina Education Accountability Act; the South Carolina Parental Involvement in Their Children’s Education Act; the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, re-authorized as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002, Title I; and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act; Florence County School District Three has developed this Parent & Community Involvement Plan.

This plan, established in collaboration with parents, businesses and community members, includes programs and practices that enhance opportunities for parental involvement and reflects the specific needs of students and their families at each school.

The Parent & Community Involvement Plan involves parents of students of all grade levels in a variety of roles.  The Plan recognizes that communication between home and school should be regular, two-way, and meaningful.  To encourage this communication, the district has identified strategies and activities that are appropriate for the age and grade level of each student.

To encourage communication with parents, at least one parent-teacher conference per semester is scheduled on each campus in the district.

To promote and support responsible parenting, each school in the district has a Parent Center.  Each school will purchase books, magazines and other informative materials regarding responsible parenting through the school libraries, the Parent Center, and Title I, if applicable.  These materials will be advertised through the school’s newsletters, the school’s website, and the Student Handbooks, and parents will have an opportunity to check out the materials for study and/or review.
