The Title 1 budgeting information and the federal requirement for parental involvement will be shared at the first PTA meeting on October 8, 2009.

At Brogden Primary School, we see the parent as the child’s first teacher. We believe that parent participation in the learning process and the school process and the school environment has a positive effect on children’s achievement. We also believe that it requires a team, consisting of the home, and the community working together, to ensure the success of our children.
