The Plan The Promise 2025

The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information are available on our school’s website at https://benefieldes.gcpsk12.org/parents/family-center-title-i/the-plan-the-promise-2025 under the Parents/Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of this Family and Community Engagement Plan in our Parent Center. 

It is reviewed and revised at least annually during the Planning Meeting in the spring. All feedback forms from the Planning Meeting are submitted to the Office of Federal Programs for review.  Families who are not able to attend the Planning Meeting have the opportunity to review draft documents and provide input during the draft document review period.  

Empathy: Cultural competence, staff and student wellbeing, educator diversity. 

Equity: Multi-tiered system of supports, opportunity and access, equitable resource allocation. 

Effectiveness: Results-Based evaluation system, talent management, educational return on investment. 

Excellence: Preferred education destination, post-secondary and workforce readiness, world-class communication and engagement.   

We will provide all students with high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment to meet high academic standards.  

The percentage of students scoring in the Proficient/Distinguished levels on the Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies GMAS subtests will be at or above 70%. Students will leave Benefield Elementary with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in middle school and be able to pursue the college and career of their choice. 

We will build our parents' capacity to support their children's academic achievement by implementing the activities identified in the Parent Involvement Policy and School/Parent Compact. 

It is a plan that describes how our school will provide opportunities to improve family engagement that will support student learning at school and at home. All students and their families are invited and encouraged to fully participate in the opportunities described in this plan. The school will provide information and as many opportunities as possible for the participation of all family members.  

It is a written agreement that outlines how the school, the students, and the family will work together to ensure your child’s academic success. An effective School-Family Promise contains the following elements: 

• Clear learning goals that are linked to the school’s improvement plan 

• Specific skills students will learn during the year  

• Strategies that staff, families, and students will use to improve student learning 

• Ways to extend learning at home 

• Methods teachers and family members will use to communicate about student progress 

• Opportunities for family members to observe and participate in the classroom 

• Jointly developed by families, school staff, students, community business partners, and other stakeholders during our Planning Meeting 

FACE is reviewed and revised during the Title I Annual Planning Meeting. A draft of the updated Plan is available for additional input during the document review period. Benefield will communicate with parents in a family-friendly format through a variety of methods and media including but not limited to parent meetings and workshops, Parent-Teacher Conferences, Parent/Student/ Teacher Connections, monthly Parent Newsletters, phone calls, emails, the school webpage, and the Parent Center.
