Where is the plan available?
The Family and Community Engagement Plan and all other Title I information are available on our school’s website at
https://www.gcpsk12.org/StriplingES under the Title I Section. Families can also find paper copies of this Family and Community Engagement Plan from the school’s Parent Center. As new students enroll after the school year begins, our Registrar provides a copy of Title I documents and information to parents during registration.

How is the plan developed and revised?
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 cannot attend the Planning Meeting have the opportunity to review draft documents and provide input during the draft document review period.

Communication
At Stripling Elementary School, we communicate with parents in way that is easy for them to understand. We explain educational terms and school information in common language. We communicate via email, Friday Folder, phone calls, and students’ agendas.

We provide information in English and Spanish in print format and on our school’s website. In addition, Stripling Elementary School has bilingual staff to support bilingual communication between parents and school personnel. Stripling Elementary also provides bilingual interpreters during parent-teacher conferences.

Parents may request a meeting with their child’s teacher, counselor, or administrator via phone call, email, or written request. Stripling Elementary School. 6155 Atlantic Blvd. Norcross, GA 30071 770-582-7577 | Fax 770-582-7586 http://www.striplingelementary.org

Our District Goals:
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.

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