WHAT IS TITLE 1?

Title I is a Federal funded program designed to work with children that need an extra boost with their reading, writing and phonics skills. Funding for our program is based on the percentage of free and reduced lunches that our families apply for. Therefore, it is ESSENTIAL that our families apply for free and reduced lunch at our school. Forms may be picked up at the office or in the cafeteria. Even if our families choose not to participate in this program, their application goes towards our funding.

WHO ARE TITLE 1 STUDENTS?

Children who score below grade level on the Idaho Reading Indicator and the Idaho Student Achievement Test and are referred by the classroom teacher qualify to receive Title 1 services. Once these children are identified, the students are instructed in small groups according to their needs and strengths in reading, phonics and writing skills.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

Parent involvement is an important component of the Title 1 program.  Title 1 helps parents and children develop successful reading habits both in school and at home. Parents have a right to be involved in planning their child's education, so Title 1 teachers encourage involvement from families of children receiving our services. Working together we can promote a successful educational experience.
