Fall into Reading Challenge
It’s October, which means it’s time for our first reading challenge of the year!
The “Fall into Reading” challenge will run October 1-October 28. For every 15 minutes your child reads, he/she can color in a leaf. If by October 28, your child has at least 15 leaves colored, he/she can turn in the paper to Miss Schappell for a chance to win a book from the Book Vending Machine!
Any questions, please feel free to contact Miss Schappell at mschappell@boyertownasd.org
Happy Fall and Happy Reading!
Title I Programs in the Boyertown Area School District
Boyertown, Colebrookdale, Earl, and Washington are the identified Title I elementary schools in our district. Middle School West is also identified as a Title I school. These schools receive Title I funding based on the percentage of low-income eligible students.
Title I is a federally funded program purposed with ensuring all children have a fair and equal opportunity to learn and grow. Boyertown has transitioned to a Schoolwide Title I program. A Schoolwide program is designed to serve all students in a Title I building and improve all structures to help support student learning. Our Schoolwide plan was developed with the help of parents, community members, teachers, and administrators. Our plan is evaluated annually to determine the impact that these supports have on student achievement.
As a Schoolwide Title I building, the staff is reviewing all students' data to determine needs. Students are identified for intervention if in need of academic support, primarily in the area of reading. All students receiving additional support must qualify through our district assessments. Support is provided to the students individually or in small groups both in class and as a pullout program. Schools set a goal for academic progress that will be measured through mid-year and end-of-the-year assessments. The Reading Specialists, Intervention teachers, paraprofessionals, and classroom teachers partner together to support students.
Our district works diligently to use the Title I funds as required and to provide these additional services to enhance the educational program of our Title I students. If you have any questions about the Title I program, please reach out to your building's reading specialist or call the Title I office at (610) 473-3678.
