+**Policy KA\\
+School, Family and Community Partnerships\\
+School Board Approved: April 1, 2019**\\
+The School Board recognizes the importance of having a strong partnership between the school system
+and the parents of our students as well as the community at large. It is therefore the policy of the Board to
+define standards for involvement between the schools, the community, and the parents of all students
+enrolled in District schools. The Superintendent is directed to implement these standards.\\
+District schools are a welcoming place, clearly accessible to parents and the community. Communication
+between home and school is regular, two-way and meaningful. Parents are full partners in the educational
+decisions that affect children and families. Parents will be encouraged to visit their schools for beginning
+of the year events such as "Open House" and new student orientations. These events will be used to
+disseminate information on school policies, discipline procedures, assessment tools and school goals.\\
+Opportunities are provided to guide parents on ways to assist with homework, give feedback to teachers,
+and how parents can help their children improve skills and perform well on assessments.\\
+Parents are encouraged to attend school-sponsored parent workshops to learn about parenting skills,
+health, safety, nutrition, home environments that support education and other topics of child and
+adolescent development throughout the year. Reasonable efforts will be made to communicate with
+parents in their primary language or in the language in which they feel comfortable. For the purposes of
+this policy, the term "parent" refers to any adult - mother, father, older sibling, aunt, uncle, grandparent,
+step parent, guardian, mentor - who plays a significant role in the care of a student or students enrolled in
+District Schools. Students and parents will receive information regarding cultural, recreational, academic,
+health, social and other resources that serve families within the community.\\
+The Board shall encourage the involvement of citizens to fulfill the mission of the schools through such
+means as hearings, surveys, informational meetings, etc., where the Board may hear and evaluate
+community opinions as it conducts its responsibilities\\
+The support of area businesses, agencies and faith-based organizations will be sought through financial,
+goods and services, and volunteer contributions. Partnerships will be developed with local organizations,
+local city and county governments, and talented individuals to strengthen school programs, family
+practices and student learning. Student participation in community service will be encouraged. Business
+partnerships will also be developed to assist students in the successful transition to employment or further
+education.\\
