Title I is a federal program that provides additional resources to schools to help ensure that all students have the support they need to succeed and to increase academic achievement. The goal is to provide additional academic support, resources, and interventions to meet the needs of all students.
We are proud to share that all elementary buildings are Schoolwide Title I schools. Students at Gockley, Steckel, and Zephyr all benefit from the many positives of being a Schoolwide Title I building.
Our schoolwide Title I program is designed to ensure that all students have access to the support, resources, and learning opportunities they need to succeed. Title I funds help strengthen instruction, provide additional academic support, and support family engagement. We partner with families to identify student needs, celebrate progress, and create meaningful opportunities for families to be involved in their child’s education.
Throughout the school year, we will share information about Title I through direct communication, including this website and the Weekly Sunday Smore. We encourage you to review these communications regularly so you can stay informed about opportunities and resources available to your family.
You will also receive information and invitations to our Parent and Family Engagement events throughout the year. These events are designed to provide families with opportunities to learn, connect with school staff, support student learning at home, and become active partners in our school community. Our goal is to work together with families and our school community to help every child grow, learn, and reach their full potential.
Parents, you can influence the success of your student in school more than any teacher or federal program. By becoming an active participant in the Title I parent involvement plan at your school, you will:
Serve as a role model, showing your student that you support his/her education.
Assure that you are aware of your student's educational progress, thereby demonstrating how important that progress is to you.
Teach your student that your input at the school is appreciated and that you support its efforts.
