Goals & Requirements
Parent involvement in each child’s education is of great importance in ensuring a child’s success in school.
As a Title 1 school, Chester W. Taylor Elementary is committed to the involvement of families. Families are encouraged to participate in the view and implementation of the Family Involvement Plan. The goals of the plan include:
- Coordinating and integrating family involvement programs
