Commodore Perry Elementary School Title I Program

The Title 1 Program at Commodore Perry Elementary provides services aimed at helping students improve their academic skills in Math and/or Reading. Students qualify for these services if they test below grade level in one or more areas, based on NWEA MAP Growth, PSSA and/or Local Common assessments. The academic intervention team meets regularly to discuss student progress and needs. Students can enter and exit throughout the year based on their growth. Progress monitoring is done regularly and results are sent home intermittently and in report cards, so that families can stay informed.

What do the services look like?

Our Title I intervention teachers work with identified students in small groups both in the Title 1 classroom and their regular classrooms to help students improve their skills in reading or math. In reading we focus mainly on fluency, decoding, and comprehension. In math we focus mainly on computation and Common Core skills. A variety of techniques and materials are utilized to practice these skills. 

When will my child receive these services?

Students receive Title I services during their scheduled Intervention time. Intervention is a specified 30 minute block when all students, students in their classroom as well as students receiving Title I services, work on their specific academic areas of need. Title I students do not miss classroom instruction during these Intervention Periods.

Family Informational Nights

Family Informational Nights are held each school year.  These sessions provide information regarding our Title I services, while also providing parents with the opportunity to provide their input in the development of these services. These sessions are typically held during Open House and Showcase nights. Title I families are encouraged to attend these informative sessions. Watch for announcements regarding these meetings during the school year!
