What is Title I? Title I is a federally funded program that offers additional federal dollars to support schools in areas with high free-reduced lunch percentages. This is determined by the school lunch forms (Program Eligibility Forms) that you fill out and turn in to the school. The Entire district is now Title I. Parents don t need to fill out forms this year.
How our school uses Title I funds Salary + benefits Small equipment Textbooks Supplies Other Parent Involvement In addition Title I district funds pay for our Academic Instructional Coach and the Family and Community Specialist
Parent Involvement Each Title I school receives funds for parent involvement. These funds come from the 1% set-aside from the APS Title I District budget. 95% of these funds are distributed to schools for their parent involvement programs. Parents must be involved in how these funds are used to support academic achievement of our students.
What can Parent Involvement funds be used for? Workshops/Classes for parents Communication Supplies and equipment for a parent center Materials and books for workshops Snacks for parent meetings Meals for parent meetings/workshops that occur during mealtime.
Ways to be involved at Gateway Elementary All parent involvement opportunities will require a background check. See Mrs. Mays-Rayford for a volunteer application Working with: Classroom Teachers Room Parents Fieldtrips (Virtual) Tutors Lunch Room Duty
MSIP V and Attendance Our goal for the year: 90 at 90 This means: 90% of our students will be at school 90% of the time (Virtually) What does this look like for your student? As of now, if your student has missed 4 or more days, they are already below 90% Attendance rates can go up or down: the more days they attend, the higher their attendance rate will be. Even if they re below 90% now, they can still finish at over 90% for the school year Why is 90 at 90 important? MSIP V determines accreditation and each school receives points for having over 80% of students at 90% attendance or by showing improvement in attendance from year to year
Current Reading Scores Presented by: Mrs. J. Humphrey (Pre-K. 2nd) Ms. Barbara Dilworth (3rd 5th)
Your Childs Attendance Important facts to keep in mind about attendance: There are no excused absences; all absences will get counted the same way. (Virtually) Suspensions, hospitalizations, missing the bus, not feeling well, not having a clean uniform and family emergencies will all be counted the same Any hour your child is not in school is equal to one hour of absence. If your child comes to school at 10:30, they were absent one hour. 6.5 hours of lateness will equal 1 day of absence. If your child misses 10 or more days or is frequently late to school, your child may receive a truancy referral or a hotline call may be made Special consideration will be given to families with documented reasons for absences before a referral or hotline is made (ex: medical condition) You may receive a phone call or attendance letter from the social worker or school staff when your child has missed 3, 6, or 9 days. Please make sure you are keeping school staff informed when your child will be absent.
