zoom_out_map

We value your voice!

Our District receives funding through Title I, Part A, a federal program that provides extra support to help all students succeed in school. This program helps us offer additional instruction and resources so all students can meet challenging state academic standards and close learning gaps.


Here’s how we currently support students through Title I:

  • Small group instruction and interventions

  • Targeted, specialized teaching

  • Ongoing progress monitoring

  • Teacher-student conferences focused on academic goals

  • Activities that engage parents and families


As we begin planning for next school year, we want your input. Your feedback helps us ensure our Title I program meets the needs of your student and your family in meaningful ways.


Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your thoughts. Thank you for being a valued partner in your child’s education!

As a part of that review, we are collecting input from staff, students, and families.


We need your help! We invite you to complete a short survey that will take less than 10 minutes of your time and provide valuable insights. [survey in English, survey in Spanish] Thank you!

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to encourage you to join us in recognizing the extraordinary individuals who dedicate their lives to educating and inspiring our children. Teachers are more than just instructors; they are mentors, role models, and guides who shape the future, one student at a time.


We hope you'll take a moment this week to express your gratitude to your child's teacher(s). A simple note of thanks or a heartfelt email can make a world of difference.
