Title I
WHAT IS TITLE I?
Title I is a federally-funded program designed to reinforce the basic and advanced skills of students who are struggling in school. Title I is part of the No Child Left Behind Act passed by Congress in 2002. A school is selected as a Title I school on the basis of the number of families within its boundaries who are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Students are selected to participate based on academic need.
HOW CAN PARENTS HELP?
AT HOME:
- Be certain that your child, if well, attends school each day.
- Talk to your child about school. Encourage your child's success and effort.
- Follow the teachers’ suggestions for helping your child at home.
- Read with your child or encourage your child to read every night. Ten minutes can make an important difference.
- Be certain that your child gets enough sleep each night.
- Take your child to the library.
- Read and discuss the parent-school compact your child brings home. Sign and return it to school.
- Provide a “homework” space for your child
AT SCHOOL:
- Discuss your child's progress with the teachers.
- Participate in Title I family activities and workshops to learn about the reading process.
- Volunteer to serve as a Parent Advisory Counsel Representative from your child’s school.
- Read and return Title I notices promptly. Complete parent surveys which evaluate the program and suggest improvements.
- Attend Title I parent meetings to assist the staff in designing, implementing, and evaluating the program.
