General Title I Information

 

Title I is a supplementary reading and math program in Kindergarten and 1st grade.

The goals are:
*To improve reading and math achievement.
*To help develop and improve work habits.

Title I helps students succeed in the regular classroom!

How is Title I instruction provided?
Title I teacher; Laura Metcalf, and Title I Paraprofessional Mary Hartert work with students individually or in small groups.   All instruction is tailored to address the needs of individual students.

Who receives Title I services?
Classroom teachers in Kindergarten and First grade make recommendations as to which students they feel would benefit from supplemental instruction based on classroom performance. The results of Aimsweb Early Literacy Testing are also used to determine eligibility. Parents will be notified when their child is identified. The ideal goal of Title I is to identity, remediate, and phase students out of the program.

Parent/Teacher Involvement
Parents are the first and primary teachers of their child. Title I staff works in partnership with parents and classroom teachers to promote school success for our students.

There are many opportunities for Wabasha-Kellogg parents to be involved in their child's reading and math development:

*Frequent Parent/Teacher communication
*Parent/Teacher conferences
*Share sheets, assignment notebooks, and library books
*Annual Title I Parent Meeting
*Student/Parent/Teacher Compact
