Title 1

Title 1 is a federal program that provides schools that qualify with additional funds to help supplement educational programs and other resources that help improve student academic achievement. This year Lamont Ramge Elementary received $114,300. The funds have been allocated as follows:

• 1 Interventionist
• Math Instructional Resources, including tutoring
• Reading Instructional Resources, including tutoring
• Professional Development

The CIP is the Campus Improvement Plan that is developed with information from the following:

• Campus Needs Assessment and Summary Data
• Goals and Strategies

These components assist to address the academic needs of students, professional development needs, and the coordination of resources/comprehensive budget. You, the parent of a Title 1 campus, have the right to participate in the development of the CIP and the Campus Leadership Team Committee.

Lamont Ramage Elementary receives federal Title I, Part A funds. These funds support our school in providing high-quality instruction for all students. Because we receive Title I funding, we are required to work together with families to create a Parent and Family Engagement (PFE) Policy each year.

This policy is created with parents, shared with parents, and reviewed and updated by parents to make sure we are meeting the needs of our families and our school community.

What the policy includes:

Our Parent and Family Engagement Policy explains:

• How our school participates in the Title I program
• Our commitment to meaningful family involvement in student learning
• How families can give input in school planning and improvement
• When and how the policy will be shared with families and the community
• The family events, learning opportunities, and communication tools we use to stay connected
• How we provide support to help families assist their children at home
• How we will evaluate our engagement activities each year with parent feedback
• How families can learn about our curriculum, assessments, and expected achievement goals
• Ways families can request meetings or support at any time

We are committed to offering Title I information sessions and family activities at flexible times so all families have opportunities to participate.

How families help guide our policy:

We use family input throughout the year, including:

✔ Parent surveys sent during summer registration
✔ Feedback forms offered at events and in newsletters
✔ Title I information in our monthly Rams Title I Newsletter, including an ongoing ideas survey families may complete at any time
✔ Parent input during Campus Leadership Team and Annual Title I Meetings

Your voice matters — and helps shape the programs and supports we provide!

What is the School-Parent Compact?

• The compact is a commitment from the school, the parent, and the student to share in the responsibility for improved academic achievement.
• You, as Title 1 Parents, have the right to be involved in the development of the School-Parent Compact. We developed our compact with the help of parents.
• We will send the compact home by the end of October.
• We adjusted the compact form with parent input suggested in July. I have included it below.

• You, as Title 1 Parents, have the right to request the qualifications of your child's teachers.
• You can contact our secretary, Mayra Salazar, with your request and administration will provide this to you.
• We are required to notify parents, in writing, if we have teachers who are not "highly qualified."
• Highly qualified means that teachers are certified to teach in the State of Texas.
