The Plan The Promise 2026-2027

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
• Reviewed and revised throughout the year.

ENGAGING AND EMPOWERING FAMILIES WITH…

• Title I Program Information: Program information is available during the Title I Planning Meeting in the spring and Annual Parent Meetings in the fall, on the school website, and in the Parent Center.
• Curriculum Information: Knowing what your child is learning at school is important. We will keep you informed throughout the year about what your child is learning during parent meetings, conferences, eCLASS, and on our school website.
• Student Progress Monitoring: The Parent Portal is an online resource that allows families to view grades, attendance, schedules, assessment, and your child’s results, course history, and much more. Monitoring your child’s progress in school is an important way to be engaged.
• Parent Resources: We have many resources available for checkout to use at home with your child. We also host several parent workshops to empower you as you work with your child at home.
• Staff Training: We will train our staff to effectively communicate with you. Your input on how we train our staff is valuable.
• Communication: We will communicate, to the extent feasible, all information with you in a language and format you understand. Whenever possible, we will provide interpreters during parent workshops, and academic events. Translation is available for most documents.
• Transition Support: Entering a new school can be scary for both students and families. We will host events to make sure both you and your child are aware of what is expected and how you can prepare as your child transitions to a new school level, college, and career.

We want to keep open lines of communication with our Meadowcreek families.  We have several ways to communicate.  We utilize email, one-on-one calls, student/parent conferences, Parent Portal, Parent Newsletter, and ParentSquare.

Other means of communication for events include the school marquee, a quarterly newsletter mailed home, and the Meadowcreek Website.

If you need interpretation and/or translation services, please contact: Ms. Martha Alanis at (678) 245-3438.

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.

Meadowcreek communicates with parents in a family friendly language and in languages families understand. We do this by having information presented in our most common languages, English and Spanish. We also translate parent documents into Spanish. We interpret and translate into other languages if requested by families. We use clear and concise sentences and pictures/symbols to represent items we discuss.

Meadowcreek schedules meetings at various times during the day to meet the needs of our families. If a parent is unable to attend a meeting or requests a specific meeting, the parent may contact the Parent Instructional Coordinator at (678) 245-3438 for special scheduling.

• Title I is a federal program designed to support school reform efforts to improve teaching and learning for all students.
• Title I programs are based on effective means of improving student achievement and include strategies to support family engagement.
• The Title I Office reserves at least one percent of the district’s allocation to fund family and community engagement programs. The use of these funds is based on suggestions gathered at our spring Planning Meetings from families and community members. Funds are distributed equally to all our Title I schools.
• Childcare and/or transportation may be provided for meetings and school events.

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.

Goal 1: Meadowcreek High School will increase our graduation rate for all students ensuring they are college and career ready.

Goal 2: Meadowcreek High School will increase performance scores in language arts, science, social studies, and math for all students.

The specific skill Meadowcreek will focus on this year is vocabulary development with an emphasis on writing and speaking across all content areas.

Meadowcreek High School will increase the cultural competence and proficiency of our organization and individual staff members to improve service delivery, strengthen programs, and enhance engagement across the full spectrum of our diverse community.

Meadowcreek High School will… 

• Provide workshops in Literacy and Math that focus on content specific vocabulary with an emphasis on writing.
• Recommend educational websites that students can use for additional practice at home.
• Provide strategies to parents specific to student needs during parent-teacher conferences.
