Title I
Schoolwide Program
As a Title I school, we have the opportunity to strengthen our program to meet the needs of all of our students with the federal support of Title I funds. Funding is based on the number of students who have free lunch. We are actively addressing the following parent, guardian and community involvement Title I requirements because we know a working partnership is crucial for our students to succeed.
Understanding the School System
As a Title I school we: work with parents and guardians to understand and navigate the school system; share information about the standards for learning determined by the state, the materials and programs we use to teach those standards, and the tests we use to show how students are progressing; and inform you about your child’s academic progress throughout the year.
Communication with parents and community is a focus of our school and we value the different ways parents contribute to the success of their children. To enhance the way parents are already supporting their children’s academic success at home, we will offer materials and ideas that guardians might additionally use.
Title I Back to School Presentation
Right to Know Teacher Qualifications
Teacher Qualification
As a parent of a student at a Title I school in Salt Lake City School District you have the right to know the professional experience and training of the teachers who instruct your child. In particular, you have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:
- Whether the teacher meets the state qualifications and licensing standards for the grades and subjects he or she teaches.
- Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary conditions.
- The teacher’s college major.
- Whether the teacher has any advanced degrees.
- Whether paraprofessionals or assistants provide instruction to your child and, if so, their qualifications.
If you would like to receive any of this information, please contact your student’s school.
Shared Decision Making
Parents will be involved in making school decisions, writing school plans, and assessing the effectiveness of school programs. They will also work with the school to plan Parent Involvement activities. Please contact the front office for more information on how to be a part of this important work. We need your ideas!!
Home & School Partnership:
Our school has a variety of formal ways to develop the home/school partnership such as Back to School Night, Parent-Teacher Conferences, School Community Council (SCC), Family Math and Literacy Nights, Parent Teacher Association/Organization (PTA/PTO), school newsletters, and other such opportunities. Please know that we also value the informal yet important ways we work together through phone calls, emails, and visiting before and after school. We look forward to working with you this year!! Please download the Home/School Compact which describes the commitments we are making to you, to see your child succeed.
Student Progress
We are so excited to tell you that our school made the progress on state testing that we needed to. The hard work of our students, teachers, parents, school personnel, and community members paid off to end last year successfully.
As a Title I school, we are required to show each year that students are progressing in math and reading/language arts. Title I federal funding supports student learning in these areas. The learning expectations grow every year so that each student is ready for middle school and high school to prepare for college and a career. Our students and teachers are now focused on this year’s learning standards to see another year of success.
