We are a Title I School ❖ A federally funded program ❖ Funds are given to schools to meet Title I goals ❖ To qualify for Title I Status, 35% or more of a school’s population receives free and/or reduced lunch ❖ The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state achievement standards and state academic assessments.

Title 1 Support, Use of Funding and Documentation ❖ Current: $197,950 ❖ School Parent Involvement Plan ❖ School-Parent Compact ❖ 2 STEM Teachers ❖ Designation Letter ❖ 1 60% Title I Parent Liaison ❖ Parent Resources ❖ Materials and supplies for the Parent Resource Center/Literacy/STEM

How do we get our Title I Funds? Our Title I status allows us to purchase two additional teachers, a parent liaison, and materials for your students to use in class. The amount of money we are allocated for our Title I program depends on the number of lunch forms turned in and approved. On average, we get $500 per child for each lunch form completed and approved. Even if your child doesn’t plan to eat school breakfast and lunch regularly, completing the form can help our school with extra staff and materials we need to provide the best education possible for your children. We are asking for every parent to complete a form, either online or a paper form, so we can continue receiving these extra funds.
