Title I Information
Click here to contact Mrs. Denton if you are interested in serving on our school's School Improvement or MTSS Committees.
This
Title I School-Parent Compact has been jointly developed with parents
and outlines how parents, the entire school staff, and students will
share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and
the means by which the school and parents will build and develop a
partnership to help children achieve the State’s high academic
achievement standards. At the annual parent-teacher conferences, the compact shall be discussed as it relates to the individual child’s achievement.
As a school, we will:
1. Provide
high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective
learning environment to enable children to meet the challenging state
academic achievement standards.
2. Regularly communicate with parents on their child’s progress.
3. Demonstrate professional behavior and positive attitude.
4. Teach in a way that embraces differences in learning styles.
5. Create a supportive and effective environment where students are respected and feel confident to take risks as a learner.
6. Provide
opportunities for families to be involved in school decisions,
volunteer in school functions, and receive strategies to help students
be successful.
As a family, we will:
1. Communicate and work with teachers and school staff on an ongoing basis to be involved and support my child’s learning.
2. Support
our child’s learning—attend conferences and school functions, volunteer
in their classroom, participate, as appropriate, in decisions related
to their education, and guide positive use of extracurricular time.
3. Make sure my child is at school every day and on time, unless he/she is ill.
4. Support
our child by monitoring his/her progress, checking regularly for school
communication, and ensuring that all homework is completed.
5. Work with the school to ensure that our child’s academic, social, and physical needs are being met.
6. Maintain
open communication with the school by asking questions about any areas
of concern and informing the school about any pertinent student
information that will help promote a productive learning environment.
As a student, I will
1. Be at school every day and on time unless I am sick.
2. Be safe by serving as a positive role model to peers and others by following all school expectations in and out of school.
3. Be accountable for my own behavior.
4. Be responsible
by respecting and cooperating with other students and coming to school
each day prepared with completed schoolwork and an attitude to learn.
5. Read at home.
6. Share my knowledge and news about my school experiences with my family.
Parent Right To Know Clause At
the beginning of the school year, any District that accepts Title 1 ,
Part A funding must notify parents that they can request information
regarding their child’s teacher and his/her qualifications, including
certification and endorsements. Parents can also request information
about paraprofessionals working with their children. Nebraska requires
that Title I schools must also provide each parent a timely notice that
their child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more
consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not No Child Left Behind
qualified.
