Woodburn Happenings and Highlights

Title I Parent & Family Engagement Policy & Compact

Woodburn Elementary is a Title I school within Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) and utilizes the Title I grant to improve student achievement and help all students meet the objectives of the FCPS Program of Studies and the Virginia Standards of Learning. A partnership with families is essential to meeting this goal.

Under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, schools that receive Title I funds are expected to collaborate with families to develop and maintain a parent and family engagement policy that describes the school’s approach to involve families in students’ learning and includes a compact expressing the partnerships among staff, caregivers, and students to reach high academic goals for every student. 

Woodburn's Parent & Family Engagement Policy & Compact can be viewed on the Wooburn Website. We value your feedback and would love to hear from you. Complete this form with any specific feedback regarding our Parent & Family Engagement Policy & Compact.
