The Plan The Promise

The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information are available on our school’s website at https://woodwardmilles.gcpsk12.org/ under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of the Family and Community Engagement Plan in our Family Engagement Center. New families to Woodward Mill Elementary will also be able to review the School Family Plan/Promise and other Title I documents with the school registrar.

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.  

Written Communication is available to all parents in both English and Spanish with additional languages available upon request. In addition, interpreters are available for parent-teacher conferences, family workshops, and individual parent meetings.

Parents may request a meeting by contacting the school office at 678-407-7590 and scheduling an appointment.

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.

We will provide all students with high quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment to meet high academic standards.

At Woodward Mill, we are committed to tailoring education to meet the unique needs of each student. Our approach includes small group instruction to ensure personalized learning experiences for everyone.

Our dedicated teachers provide quality and engaging daily lessons. Instruction is aligned to specific learning goals in each academic content area, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

The Woodward Mill Family Center will offer a variety of resources, information, and support for all families. We are dedicated to maintaining consistent two-way communication as we partner with our families for the success of each student.

It is a plan that describes how our school will provide opportunities to improve family engagement that will support student learning at school and at home. All students and their families are invited and encouraged to fully participate in the opportunities described in this plan. The school will provide information and as many opportunities as possible for the participation of all family members. 

It is a written agreement that outlines how the school, the students, and the family will work together to ensure your child’s academic success. An effective School-Family Promise contains the following elements:

• Clear learning goals that are linked to the school’s improvement plan
• Specific skills students will learn during the year
• Strategies that staff, families, and students will use to improve student learning
• Ways to extend learning at home
• Methods teachers and family members will use to communicate about student progress
• Opportunities for family members to observe and participate in the classroom
• Jointly-developed by families, school staff, students, community business partners, and other stakeholders during our Planning Meeting
• We will review and revise The School Family Promise with families throughout the school year at the Annual Parent meeting and during the Fall and Spring Parent Teacher Conferences.
• We will also encourage families to review The School Family Promise located on the School Website and My Payments Plus
