Parent Family Engagemet Policy
Anderson Elementary’s School Level Family Engagement Policy is created and revised with input from our School Improvement Team, which includes staff and family representatives.
We also seek input through surveys, family engagement activities, School Improvement Team meetings, and volunteer orientations. Our policy is sent out to all families, and posted on our school website. The purpose/vision of our policy is to engage our families as full partners in their child’s academic experience at Anderson Elementary School.
