Family Engagement (Title 1 Information)

Tips for Families

As a Perry Middle parent, there are several things you can do to help your child be successful.

Visit Our PARENT RESOURCE CENTER - Our Parent Resource Center is located in the main office at the front counter. We have academic information for all grade levels as well as information on parenting, Infinite Campus, upcoming events and Title I. Stop by and pick something up any day between 7:30 am and 3:00 pm.

Be A VOLUNTEER - We welcome and encourage family involvement. There are many ways for families to give of their time and talents. Contact our Family Engagement Liaison for more information.

All volunteers working with students are required to have a background check on file with the Houston County School District and receive volunteer training at our school. Background checks are good for five years and are good at any school in the county. If you aren’t sure of your clearance status, our Family Engagement Coordinator will be happy to check for you. Background Check Applications are available in the front office..

More About Title I

Perry Middle is a Title I School. We are eligible for Title I funding based on our percentage of students eligible for free and reduced lunch. This means we receive additional federal funds for the purpose of improving teaching and learning for students. All students in our school benefit from these funds. Title I requires that these funds be used for programs that will improve student achievement and include ways to help families help their children to succeed (family engagement). All Title I schools must include stakeholder (family, teacher, student) input in the development of a written Family Engagement policy.

Perry Middle School hosts activities throughout the year to build strong family engagement which supports a partnership among the school, families and the community to improve student academic achievement. Perry Middle believes that family engagement is the participation of families in all areas of their children’s education and development, recognizing that families are the primary influence in their children’s lives. Check Perry Middle's social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), the school sign, newsletters and call-outs for the most current information on school events.

Family Action Team

We welcome your input, including comments and feedback, on our school and our programs at any time during the year. Please contact Mrs. Paige to share your thoughts and ideas.

Panther Parents is one way for families to give their input. Perry Middle School invites all families to be part of Panther Parents to share ideas and help build partnerships with school, families and the community. Panther Parents works with our staff to develop our yearly family activities and Title I documents such as the Family Engagement Plan and School-Parent Compact. We meet twice a year, but ideas and suggestions are always welcome. If you would like to learn more about Panther Parents, please contact Mrs. Paige.
