FAQs

Q: What is an ATP?: A: The Action Team for Partnerships (ATP) is a committee of educators, parents and community members that meets monthly to develop plans for school, family and community partnerships. This model for engagement comes from the National Network of Partnership Schools from Johns Hopkins University. For more information please visit their website at www.partnershipschools.org

Q: How do parents, teachers and community members get involved?: A: If you are interested in becoming a member of your school’s ATP you can check out the ATP page on the school’s website to find out who the chairperson is and when their meetings are. Feel free to contact the chairperson directly. You can also call Sarah Del Toro at (509) 222-6462 or Veronica Rodriguez at (509) 222-6180 for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!

Q: What is the relationship between ATP and Title 1?: A: In Kennewick School District, we empower our ATPs carry out the parent involvement requirements of Title 1 as set forth by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Each ATP creates a one year that links parent engagement practices to school improvement goals. ATPs actively seek parent input in decision making through parent representatives on the team, family surveys and evaluations after events. These are examples of best practices that all ATPs, regardless of whether they are Title 1 or not, work toward.
