All elementary schools within the district are Title I schoolwide schools and receive Title I federal funds to support the positions of Interventionist and Title I Associates. We determine how to use the funding to staff our buildings based on family input and our school data. If you are interested in becoming a part of our Title I team, please reach out to your building Interventionist or principal. Our Policy 917/918 meetings are a great place to start, because we always review our School Improvement plans and the most updated school data during those meetings.

At all school levels, we use Title IV federal funds to purchase incentives for PBIS (our positive school-wide behavior supports) rewards, and we emphasize the goal of following school rules in all schools.

Homelessness

Homelessness can happen to us at any time in our lives. Our school district has many ways to help families who find themselves in a homeless situation. Mr. Barth, Robb Principal, Mrs. Harris & Mrs. Williams, Robb School Counselors, Mrs. Manning, the district’s Director of Pupil Services (570-893-4900, ext. 2105), and Mr. Galer, district’s Social Worker (570-893-4900, ext. 2341), are all point of contacts for support.

If you are concerned about a student for any reason, you can make a SAP referral. The SAP referral can potentially lead to any needed services and/or supports the student may need to be successful.
