Why do we have annual meetings? The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires that each Title I School hold an Annual Meeting of Title I parents for the purpose of… –Informing you of your school’s participation in Title I –Explaining the requirements of Title I –Explaining your rights as parents to be involved

10/8/ Program Components  All children, including Title I children, must have the opportunity to meet the state’s challenging content and performance standards  The Title I program must coordinate with and support the regular education program  Title I instruction and assessment are to be based in the regular curriculum, not in a separate one.

10/8/ Parent Communication Parent Notification Letter Progress Report Each marking period Sent home with report card /Parent-Teacher Conference Program Evaluation and Needs Assessment Sent home in June

10/8/ The surest path to high self-esteem is to be successful at something one perceived would be difficult. Each time we steal our children’s struggle, we steal the opportunity for them to build self-confidence. Children must do hard things to feel good about themselves.

CAPS First and second grade teachers notice improvements in independent writing particularly when the child is encouraged by their parents to write sentences on their own. Once a sentence is written, parents are encouraged to ask their child if he/she has done a CAPS check. Don’t worry if some of the words are phonetically spelled. Phonetic spelling of words not found on the word wall should be encouraged. Just reminding the child to “do a CAPS check” should be the only help a parent needs to provide once the child begins writing. 10/8/

C A P S (cont.) Capital letters at the beginning of the sentence - The rest of the sentence should be written in the lower case. All key words should be spelled correctly – Encourage your child to use the word wall provided by Mrs. Schluter. Remember to update the word wall each time the key words are sent home by your child’s teacher. Punctuation- All sentences need them. - In first grade, a period or question mark will suffice. Spaces between words – In first grade, a “two finger space” is the prompt usually used by the teacher. In second grade, S means “sentence must make sense.” 10/8/
