Parent Nights set for Title I Bulloch schools
Events run Aug. 18-Sept. 22
Parent Night

During Bulloch County Schools' annual Parent Nights, families can connect with teachers, explore classroom resources and discover ways to support their child’s success all year long. The events will be held at each of the school district's Title I schools in August and September.
The school system’s team of family engagement specialists will help host the events at the district's 13 Title I schools Aug. 18 through Sep. 22. (Statesboro High and Southeast Bulloch High are not Title I schools.)

Free translation and childcare services are available during the events by request. Parents/guardians in need of these services are asked to pre-register for the school's event at bullochschools.org/parentnight or via the scannable code on invitation flyers your school will send home with your child.
According to a release from the school district, events at Parent Nights will feature a brief Title I Annual Meeting, then families will have a choice of breakout sessions to attend with topics such as school attendance, the importance of literacy and building literacy skills, testing and more.

Also, there will be information about curriculum, available communication tools and learning resources to help students thrive. This is also time for parents to visit classrooms, speak with teachers and learn more about expectations for students.
Title I, the largest federally funded program for K-12 schools, supports districts based on the number of students who are economically disadvantaged. Title I funds provide extra educational services for those in need.

Bulloch County Schools' Federal Programs Department employs a team of parent and family engagement specialists who help plan programs, connect families to resources and serve as a liaison between families and their child's school to improve engagement.
