THE PLAN…THE PROMISE…

WHERE IS THE PLAN AVAILABLE?

The Family and Community Engagement Plan (this page) and all other Title l information are available on our school’s website under the Title 1 Section. Families can also find paper copies of this Family and Community Plan in our Parent Center.  

HOW IS THE PLAN DEVELOPED AND REVISED?

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.  

COMMUNICATION

At Beaver Ridge Elementary, we are committed to communicating with families in a clear, welcoming, and accessible way. We provide information in languages that families can understand whenever possible. Important documents are sent home, and interpreters are available at family events as needed.

We stay connected with our community through monthly newsletters, flyers, social media, our Google Classroom  landing page, and the school website to ensure families stay informed and engaged.

If you would like to discuss your child’s progress, please schedule a meeting in advance at a time when class is not in session. Staff hours are 7:30 AM to 3:15 PM. Teachers will return calls within 24 hours. For urgent concerns, please contact the front office and ask to speak with an administrator.

ENGAGING AND EMPOWERING FAMILIES WITH…

• Title I Program Information: Program information is available during the Title I Planning Meeting in the spring and Annual Parent Meetings in the fall, on the school website, and in the Parent Center.
• Curriculum Information: Knowing what your child is learning at school is important. We will keep you informed throughout the year about what your child is learning during parent meetings, conferences, Google Classroom, and on our school website. 
• Student Progress Monitoring: The Parent Portal is an online resource that allows families to view grades, attendance, schedules, assessment, and your child’s results, course history, and much more. Monitoring your child’s progress in school is an important way to be engaged. 
• Parent Resources: We have many resources available for checkout to use at home with your child. We also host several parent workshops to empower you as you work with your child at home.
• Staff Training: We will train our staff to effectively communicate with you. Your input on how we train our staff is valuable. 
• Communication: We will communicate, to the extent feasible, all information with you in a language and format you understand.  Whenever possible, we will provide interpreters during parent workshops, and academic events. Translation is available for most documents. 
• Transition Support: Entering a new school can be scary for both students and families. We will host events to make sure both you and your child are aware of what is expected and how you can prepare as your child transitions to a new school level, college, and career. 

OUR DISTRICT GOALS

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. 

OUR SCHOOL GOALS

At Beaver Ridge Elementary, we are committed to providing all students with high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that promotes high academic achievement.

Our school focuses on four key strategic priorities to support both students and staff, ensuring a strong sense of belonging and psychological safety for everyone. We use a multi-tiered system of support to monitor instruction and provide targeted assistance, helping reduce the number of students performing at the lowest levels.

We prioritize strong foundational skills in early reading and comprehension to help students become confident, fluent readers. In mathematics, students build number sense and develop problem-solving skills. Throughout the day, students also engage in small group instruction and collaborative learning experiences to strengthen their understanding and connection with peers.
