Parental and Community Involvement

Our experience, supported by research, is that parental involvement is one of the most important factors contributing to student success. Accordingly, LPS makes every effort to involve parents and the community in each of our schools. The model features four elements:

• Outreach meetings to parents, held in their own neighborhoods.
• A student-parent-teacher contract that outlines the rights, the responsibilities and accountability for school success of each party.
• Working with parents on how to support their children academically.
• Participation in school-decision making through a parent organization, a School Site Council, and a teacher interview committee.

LPS schools are an integral part of their communities. Participating in and bettering one’s community is a core element of our Leadership Program and philosophy. All of our students are expected to engage in public service activities and involve themselves in their communities. Additionally, community members serve on the School Site Council, playing an active role in guiding each of our schools.
