Weyanoke is a Title 1 School

What is Title I?

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act is the largest federally funded education program that provides extra support to students who are academically at-risk in public and private schools. Through Title I, the government allocates funds to school districts around the country based on the number of low-income families in each district. Title I funds are designed to help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their peers. The purpose of Title I is to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments.

What are the benefits of Title I?

A Title I program will provide your child with educational support beyond the regular classroom. Some benefits may include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Increased Family Engagement
  • Increased Technology
  • Smaller Classes or Specialized Instructional Support
  • Additional Teachers and Instructional Assistants
  • Additional Professional Development for School Staff

What is a Home-School Compact?

A Home-School Compact is an agreement that the school, students and parents/caregivers jointly develop. It outlines how we will work together to make sure all students are exposed to a high quality curriculum and instruction as well as receive the individual support they need to reach and exceed grade-level standards.
