Title I Parent and Family Engagement

What Is Family Engagement?
Family engagement means parents and family members are active partners in their child's education — not just receiving information, but having real, ongoing conversations with the school.
This includes:
- Supporting your child's learning at home and at school
- Being involved in school activities and decisions
- Serving on advisory committees
- Participating in programs outlined under Section 1116 of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
Your involvement matters, and our schools want to work with you every step of the way.
Title I Schools
All six Appling County schools are Title I schools:
- Appling County Primary School
- Appling County Elementary School
- Altamaha Elementary School
- Fourth District Elementary School
- Appling County Middle School
- Appling County High School
Our Parent & Family Engagement webpage provides resources to help your child succeed academically, along with Title I information and a place to share your ideas. We encourage you to visit the page and let us know how we can improve our Title I programs.
Parent & Family Engagement Survey
Each spring, Appling County School System asks families to complete a short survey. Your responses help us understand how well our schools and district are supporting you and your child.
The survey is completely confidential, and your feedback directly shapes future programs and activities. We truly appreciate you taking a few minutes to share your thoughts.
The survey opens each spring semester — look for the link on our website and in school communications.
Together, we can make a real difference for our students!
