groups. Topics covered during the meetings will include:

communication between the school and home.
Ø
Discussing
current student assessment data and student progress.

§ Parental input from
the parent meetings and training sessions will be shared with the
School
Site Council (SSC) to provide an organized, ongoing, timely way of involving
parents in the planning,
review, and improvement of the program.
§ The schoolwide
parent newsletter is mailed home informing parent/community of all
meetings of
interest. For special meetings, targeted language groups receive notice in
their language.
The parent center is used to advertise parent meetings and training
sessions
offered at San Diego High School—IS, at the District Advisory
Council’s Harold J. Ballard Parent Center, and throughout the district. Every
attempt is made to
communicate with
parents in their primary language.
§ During parent
meetings, opportunities will be offered for the formulation of parental
suggestions.
Responses to their suggestions will be reviewed in a timely fashion, if
possible, by the
next scheduled meeting. Topics that are appropriate for SSC
review/action
will be placed on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled meeting
by the school
administration.
§ Parents are
notified annually of individual student assessment results by the Research
and Reporting
Department and Assessment Services Department. An explanation of
the information
is available in several languages.
