Title I Information

Polk Avenue is a Title One School? What is that exactly and what does that mean to me?

- Title I can help children be more successful in school
- Parents have a voice in their child’s education
- Teachers realize the contributions of parents to their child’s education.

How does Title I work?

Federal government provides funds to States each year for Title I  after the state sends in a plan describing:

- What children know and should be able to do
- High-quality standards that children are expected to meet.
- Ways their progress will measured

Then the State education agencies send the money to school

Districts based on the numbers of families that receives free and reduced lunch. And then the Local School District or Lea identifies eligible schools and distributes the funds.

Parents, Teachers, Administrators, and Staff will:

 Identify students who need help the most
 Set goals for improvement
 Measure student progress, using state standards
 Develop programs that supplement classroom instruction
 Involve parents in every part of the program

We need you help to…..

Determine goals for the program
Plan and carry out program
Evaluate programs
Work with your child at home and possibly as a volunteer in the classroom
