This evening, in your child's blue folder, you should find a blue packet of papers explaining our schoolwide Title I program. You will get an informational sheet with frequently asked questions about our program and what it means to be a Title I school, as well as a School-Family-Student Compact. This compact is an agreement between all of us saying that we share the responsibility of making sure our students are successful. Please make sure you read over our Family Involvement Policy that you will find at the back of the packet. We encourage you to be involved in your student's education and we are always here to answer any questions that you may have.
