The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires schools to engage parents of public and private school students in the development, implementation, and annual review of school programs for Title I students. ESSA further requires that "schools engage parents in regular, 2-way communication that is meaningful and pertains to academic learning and other school activities". The parent and family engagement requirements for schools and districts serving students through Title I are: ​

• District Parent and Family Engagement Policy ​
• School-Level Parent and Family Engagement Policy ​
• School-Parent Compact ​
• Annual Meeting for Title I parents ​
• Parent Notifications ​
