Title 1 Parent Policy
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act has many important aspects. One is that of Parent Involvement. As a parent, you play an important role in your child's education. The NCLB act seeks to provide every student with a high quality education. It states that students are to be challenged to meet high standards, taught by highly qualified teachers using proven teaching methods and be able to learn in a safe, drug-free environment.

Parents have the right to know about their individual school's performance by viewing the district and state report cards. The schools must have an accountability system. The Edison School District has set high standards of what students should know and be able to do. The state of California has set specific standards for reading, math and science.

The NCLB act also states that your child has a right to attend a safe school. As you visit our schools you will see that we have security and safety procedures in place.

Get involved in your child's education. Attend meetings and share your thoughts, concerns and ideas. Help your child complete homework and make sure that he/she understands how important it is to do well in school. We suggest you become a member of the PTO, join a Family Involvement Workshop, or contact us for specific activities at our school. Throughout the year our schools will have opportunities for you to be involved. There are several activities in the arts, academics and athletics.

If you have any questions about NCLB, you can visit the US Department of Education's web site:
