Title 1 School Information
SSES is a Title 1 School. Title I was passed in 1965 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools.
Title 1 schools receive extra funding (Title I dollars) from the federal government. These dollars are used to:
- identify students experiencing academic difficulties and provide assistance to help these students
- purchase additional staff, programs, materials, and/or supplies
- conduct parent and family engagement meetings, trainings, events, and/or activities
The families and parents of Title 1 students have a right, by law, to:
- be involved in decisions made at both the school and district level
- be provided with information on your child’s level of achievement on tests in reading/language arts, writing, mathematics, and science
- request and receive information on the qualifications of your child’s teacher and paraprofessionals who are working with your child (Request can be made to Dr. Piche and Ms. Davis)
- request opportunities for regular meetings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions about the education of your child. The school is required to respond to any such suggestions as soon as practicably possible
Title 1 schools are required to have Family Engagement Policies and Parent/Student Compacts. Click on the links to view ours.
