Family & Community Engagement

We will create a culture of collaboration and effective communication in order to engage a network of family and community stakeholders as partners in Student Success.

3A

Actively engage every family in the educational process, in order to support students, by building trust, and strengthening family and district relationships.

Strategies

• Develop the ‘Student Success Series’ for every grade level to help communicate the expectations and important information specific to each grade level. • Create/redistribute a Roadmap of Communication tool to help direct families to the right resource for their specific need. • Restructure the Family Engagement Team/Committee/Council in order to welcome and onboard new families and students to the district . • Leverage athletic events and other well-populated district events to communicate and disseminate opportunities to engage with the district .

3B

Expand and strengthen relationships with businesses and organizations within the community in order to provide more experiences for students to extend their learning outside the classroom.

Strategies

• Develop/strengthen an in-district business council to help build strategic partnerships, leverage community resources, and expose students to the opportunities that are available to them in the community . • Develop and strengthen relationships with the mayors of each of the three communities to create working partnerships with each city . • Create and develop a career laboratory to develop skills in students that will enhance and contribute to their employability profiles.

3C

Increase and improve alumni engagement opportunities built around connecting alumni to one another, the district, and current BCSD students.

Strategies

• Survey alumni to gain feedback about their experiences and reflections of the educational process within the district, including Portrait of a Titan competencies . • Develop a Berea-Midpark alumni association (one does not exist since the merger) • Create regular, consistent, and structured opportunities for alumni to interact with students as resources, mentors, and a bridge to the community .
