What is Title I?
Welcome
Elementary is proud to be a Title I school. The goal, of Title I, is
for every child to receive a quality education. Title I funds are
based on the number of students who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch.
We are a school-wide program that serves all Welcome students.
Some of the
ways that Title I money is spent at Welcome is as follows:
-
Smaller class size,
-
Additional teacher
training,
-
Additional staff to
assist teachers and parents,
-
Parenting programs,
-
Instructional
technology and software,
-
Before school
program, and
-
Supplemental
classroom resources.
Within
the Title I program it is recognized that involved parents are important
for student success. Parents have the right to know how their child is
progressing academically and how the school is performing on state
tests. Parents can request information about their child's teachers'
qualifications. Parents also have the opportunity to give input through
surveys, evaluations, and serving on the Title I Planning Committee to
help develop the school Title I plan.
Parents
can participate in the education process in many ways. Parents have the
opportunity to attend teacher conferences and school events.
Supervising homework is another great way to help. Parents can always
observe in your child's classroom and volunteer.
As a
Title I school, it is our responsibility to inform parents of our
academic progress as it relates to Adequate Yearly Progress. Welcome
met AYP again this year. It is our goal to meet Adequate Yearly
Progress again next year for the 2010-11 school year.
If you have any questions about Title I
please contact Jill Gibbs, Title I Facilitator, at 355-3930.
