This is a courteous reminder of our pick up and drop off protocols for the front parking lot at Horizon. It is important that we all work together to ensure the safety of our students and staff members.

We ask that you please remember to drive slowly and carefully through the school parking lot and around the school premises. There are pick up line markers and staff members to help convey the proper route. We also remind you to avoid blocking handicap parking spots and to not park in these spots unless you have a state issued handicap parking permit. We do have students and families that require regular access to these parking spots throughout the school day. In addition, the thoroughfares are not designated parking spaces. Please do not park or sit in these spaces as it causes congestion.

We really appreciate you working with our designated safety patrol to provide a safe environment for everyone at Horizon! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Check out the Horizon calendar for important dates and information.

This year during our boys and girls varsity basketball games, Capital is going to sponsor one of our feeder schools. Students from the designated school will be encouraged to show up to the game with their family in their school gear. We will offer free admission (to both the student and the family), give out Capital stickers, and honor your school during halftime. Your school's date is December 22nd at 7:30, the varsity girls will be playing Kuna High. We would love to see your students and their families there! Let us know if you have any questions, thanks!

SCHOOL INFORMATION

Federal law requires that each school district receiving Title I funds notify parents of each student attending any school receiving these funds that information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teacher(s) may be requested. As a parent of a student attending a school receiving federal program funds, you have the right to know:

• Is my child’s teacher licensed to teach the grades and subject(s) assigned?

• Is my child’s teacher teaching with a provisional license, meaning the state has waived requirements for my child’s teacher?

• What is the college major of my child's teacher?

• What degree or degrees does my child's teacher hold?

• If there are instructional aides working with my child, what are their qualifications?

• If my child is or will be taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks this year by a teacher who is not highly qualified, will I be notified in a timely manner?

What is Title I?

Title I is the largest federal aid program for our nation's schools.

What does Title I money do for a school?

Title I money is typically used to provide extra staff, materials or professional development for these schools. The program specifically supports reading and math.

How might Title I help my child?

A child attending a Title I school in the Boise School District may receive assistance in reading or math from a Title I paraprofessional. Paraprofessionals work in class with guidance by highly qualified teachers. They might work with small groups of students or one on one with a child. Children also benefit from training teachers receive or curriculum materials that are paid for with Title I funds.

How is a school eligible to receive Title I money?

The federal government measures a school's low income level by the number of students receiving free or reduced lunch. If the school meets the target percentage Title I status is granted.

How is a child eligible for Title I services?

All children attending a Title I school operating as a school wide program are eligible to receive services from Title I.
