What is Title One?

How can I be involved in my child's education?

There are many ways to get involved in your child’s education. To begin, Title 1 funding is based on the percentage of children who qualify for free or reduced lunch. You can help your child’s school by filling out the "Household Income Form" and turning it in at the Attendance or Title 1 Office. You can also help by volunteering in the School Site Council. This committee makes decisions about school programs, safety, goals and how funds are used in your child’s school. To volunteer, please contact Mr. Xiong.

What is the School/Parent Compact?

A major purpose of Title 1 is to increase the involvement of parents in a child’s education. Under Title 1 regulations, all schools receiving Title 1 funds have developed a compact, an agreement between the school and the parents. The compact is designed to help parents and teachers work together to provide the best possible education for each student. Parents have opportunities each fall to provide input and participate in the School/Parent Compact.
