Expectations

Students who do not meet grade level expectations on Assessments such as:

Grade Level Baseline Assessments

DIBELS  K-4

Phonics Informal Screener (The Reading League)

A Universal Screener-DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) is administered by Title One in September-January-May

If your child qualifies for Title I, you will receive a letter stating Reading services will be provided. 

Your child will then be assessed by a Title One Provider using a DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment).  An individualized Reading program will then be implemented that will focus on your child’s strengths and weaknesses with regard to reading skills.  

Schedules have been made to accommodate students during times that work around direct instruction times.  

Title I will be broken into two separate groups.  Intensive Reading Instruction (Tier 3) and General Title I groups (Tier 2).  Students who have received a specialized reading program in the past will begin to work in a small group on Intensive skills in order to meet grade-level expectations. 

Your child's Title I teacher will either push into the classroom or pull students into a small group to work with corrective reading programs or provide support for the classroom curriculum. 

Each Title I team member has a specific Kindergarten class that they will provide reading and math support to for all students within that classroom.

If you have any specific questions regarding your child’s services please call 315-839-6339 or e-mail tlupia@svcsd.org

In order for a student to enter Title I Math, they need to meet some of the expectations such as:

• Take Baseline Assessment for respective grade level and score at a Strategic Intervention or Intensive Intervention

• Show need within the classroom setting with current standards in the math curriculum of the respective grade level

If your child qualifies for Title I, you will receive a letter stating Math services will be provided. 

Your child will be assessed in September and June to track progress. Title I students are also tested in January and students on watch are also tested during this time. 

Your child's Title I Math teacher will either push into the classroom or pull your child to complete services to assist with crucial mathematics skills. This will also be help to support classroom content.
