Offer academic support and intervention services
Provide professional development for teachers and staff
Increase family engagement in student learning
Improve overall school performance
Our Commitment to Families
Teaneck Public Schools believes that family engagement is essential to student success. Each school receiving Title I funds develops a School-Level Parent and Family Engagement Policy and hosts annual meetings to share information about:
The Title I program and services offered
Academic standards and expectations
Ways families can support learning at home
Opportunities to participate in planning and feedback
Parent Rights Under ESSA
As part of ESSA, parents and guardians have the right to request information about the professional qualifications of their child’s teachers and paraprofessionals.
Requests can be directed to your child’s school principal or to the Office of School Innovation and Student Achievement.
Working Together
By partnering with families, educators, and the community, Teaneck Public Schools ensures that every child receives the tools, instruction, and encouragement needed to achieve academic excellence.
