Title I is a 100% Federally funding supplemental education program that provides financial assistance to schools to improve educational opportunities for educationally deprived children. Title I programs are designed to help children meet the state content and performance standards in reading, language arts, and mathematics. Title I funding also provides for parent and family engagement in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities.
JBES has allotted funding toward the following:
- Bulldog Bark Newsletter
- Getting Ready for Kindergarten Literacy Nights
- Character Counts Workshop by Cohesion
- Positive Parenting Workshop by Cohesion
- School supplies for all students
- Planners for grades 3,4,5
We welcome suggestions on family engagement activities. Title I updates are provided at the PTA meetings.
