Wake County Public School System
Lake Myra Year Round Elementary School     School-wide Title I Parent Involvement Policy
The mission of the Wake County Public School System is to educate each student to be a responsible and productive citizen who can effectively manage future challenges. Parents of Wake County students are urged to support their child’s participation in the Title I program. Elementary school students are eligible to be served in the Title I program if the child performs or is at risk of performing below grade level according to local and state assessments.
We believe the education of children is a cooperative and collaborative effort.  Parental involvement strengthens the child’s academic, social, and emotional success.
