School Wide Title I

What is Title 1?

Title 1 is a federally-funded program under the Improving America's Schools Act (IASA).  The purpose is to enable all children to meet high academic standards.  This is accomplished by providing meaningful and challenging opportunities for student learning.  Under the Title 1 legislation, schools and families form partnerships to help students who need support in meeting high academic standards. Congress has provided this financial assistance to qualifying school districts since 1965. 

Students in grades K-5 who need extra help in reading and/or math may be eligible for Title assistance.  Classroom teachers may recommend students for Title based on classroom performance and assessment data. Student may receive extra help in the classroom, one-on-one instruction, or small group instruction 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes.

It is a Partnership!

Students, parents, and school staff are all a part of the educational process.  

• Research shows that parent involvement is a major factor in a child's academic success.

• Teachers provide a variety of learning experiences to enhance a child's development and growth.

• The assistance students receive enhances their self-esteem and gives them an "I can do it" attitude.

• Title 1 staff are flexible to the needs of the individual students.  Instruction is geared towards the specific needs of the students.
