The Plan The Promise

The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information are available on our school’s website at https://peachtreees.gcpsk12.org/ under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of the Family and Community Engagement Plan in our Family Engagement Center. New families to Peachtree Elementary will also be able to review the School Family Plan/Promise and other Title I documents with the school registrar.

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.  

We will communicate with you to the extent possible in a language and  format you understand. We will provide interpreters during parent workshops and academic events whenever possible. Translation is  available for most documents.

During the school year if you have questions or concerns about this  document or anything related to your child and his or her education,  please contact the school to schedule a time to talk with someone  about your concerns. Our front office will be more than happy to take care of you. (770)448-8710. 

The Blueprint for the Future is the strategic plan for Gwinnett County Public Schools. This plan is organized into four strategic priorities, each with three specific goals. To ensure success, these goals have clear objectives and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track and measure progress. Each year schools review their data to identify areas for growth and set long-term goals to improve them. This information is used to create a Local School Plan for Improvement (LSPI) aligned to the district's priorities. School staff, families, and community members participate in providing input for the LSPI. Families can easily access the latest strategic plan on the Gwinnett County Public Schools' website.

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

One of our goals at Peachtree is for our students in grades k-5  to demonstrate continuous growth in literacy documented  through our assessments and ultimately for our students to  become skilled readers. 

• K: Retelling stories, Identifying characters/setting
• 1st: Reading for fluency
• 2nd and 3rd: Reading for fluency and comprehension 4th read with purpose and expression
• 5th Summarize and paraphrase effectively

           

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
• We will review and revise The School Family Promise with families throughout the school year at the Annual Parent meeting and during the Fall and Spring Parent Teacher Conferences.
• We will also encourage families to review The School Family Promise located on the School Website and My Payments Plus
