“No Child Left Behind” Act Education act signed into law in 2001 that aims to:  Ensure that every student has a high quality education  Challenge and motivate students  Provide highly qualified teachers, who use proven teaching methods  Ensure a safe, drug free learning environment

Title I Program  Title I is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools  The goal of Title I is a higher quality of education for every child  The program serves millions of children in public elementary and secondary schools each year including eligible students in private schools

How Title I Works  The federal government provides funding to states each year for Title I  The California Department of Education sends the money to the district  The school district identifies eligible schools and provides Title I funds  Farnham, Sartorette and Price are all “Targeted” Title I schools.

What is “Targeted Title I”?  Student identification is made that renders them eligible or ineligible for services  Students identified as most at risk of not meeting state academic standards are served  Programs targets resources only to those students most at-risk academically in reading and/or math  Title I funds are used to support additional instruction  On-going progress-monitoring must be in place  After-school programs should be considered  Parents must be notified of students’ eligibility for Title I services

Parent’s Right to Know  Be involved and request regular meetings to express your opinions and to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of your children  Be provided information on your child’s level of achievement on assessments like the SBAC in English language arts, mathematics, and science  Request and receive information on the qualifications of your child’s teacher

Common Core State Standards  California academic content standards establish high expectations for all students  Common Core State Standards identify what your child needs to know and be able to do in all content areas.  More information about the CCSS is available at:   /cc/

Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)  The Smarter Balanced Assessment System will give parents and students more accurate and actionable information about what students are learning. Because these assessments are computer adaptive, they will also provide better information about the needs and successes of individual students.computer adaptive  Frequently Asked Questions: events/faqs/#2446http:// events/faqs/#2446 

Measuring Student Success  CA Common Core State Standards (CCSS) form the framework of everything taught at school  Smarter Balanced Assessment Collaborative (SBAC) will be administered in Spring of 2015 for grades 3-8 in ELA & Math  District Common Assessments (Benchmarks) are administered in ELA & Math 3 times per year (Fall, Winter & Spring) for grades 1-8 & ESGI for Kindergarten  Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) for grades K-5 – Fall & Spring  Content Standards Test (CST) for Science – Spring for grades 5 & 8

Parental Involvement  Working together  Parent Involvement Policy  Involve parents in a meaningful way in the development, implementation and review of the school plan  School Site Council (SSC)  English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)  Home & School Club (H&SC)  Parent-School Compact  Meet with your child’s teacher  Available at the school site

Parent Involvement While a quality school is important, it’s not the number one factor in determining your child’s probability of academic success. In a recent study of 10,000 U.S. teenagers, researchers found that the home environment was three times more important than the school when it comes to 18- year-olds’ test results. Three times. The message? Schools matter, but parents matter far more.  Z6U5yaXA Z6U5yaXA
