Title I Overview Our school is a Title I school because we receive funds from the federal government to provide additional resources to assist with the education of our children. We qualify for these additional funds because a large percentage of our students receive free or reduced meals at our school. The goal of our Title I Program is to ensure every child is able to learn and perform at levels that meet or exceed the state academic standards. The Title I federal funds we receive help to achieve this goal.

Title I Parent Committee (PAC) We invite you to participate in our Title I Parent Committee meetings. The Title 1 Parent Committee meets twice each year (January and May). All parents are encouraged to attend. During this meeting, parents, teachers and administrators will work to review and revise our School- wide Program Plan and Title I budget based specifically on our school’s current Needs Assessment for school year. Our school’s Needs Assessment includes up to three years of assessment data. Our strengths and weaknesses are detailed so informed decisions about our School-wide Program Plan and use of Title I funds can be made.

Needs Assessment Each summer, school faculty meet to review and discuss school data to help inform the School Improvement Plan. This data includes but is not limited to the following: Georgia Milestone Assessments District Benchmark assessments 5 th & 8 th grade writing assessments School Common assessment scores in reading, science, social studies, language arts, and math. class performance summaries. Once reviewed, a detailed decision is reached regarding the needs of our school.

How are Title I Funds Spent? Camp Creek Middle School Funds: These additional resources allow us to provide enhanced instructional programs for all students and the opportunity for our parents to be involved in their children’s education. To continue receiving these funds, there are guidelines we must follow to comply with requirements mandated by the U.S. Department of Education. Title 1 Part A – Academic Achievement Allocation: $ 250,000 ( F/R lunch students * (State Pupil Allocation) Budget: Expenditures aligned to Needs Assessment 3.5 Teachers 1 Data Support Specialist 1 Parent Liaison = Personnel: $ 250,000 Supplies, Computers, Resources, Parent Involvement Learning Software (PLATO) = Supplies: Additional 1% Funding

Title I Budget If additional funds become available, the Title I Committee has agreed that these funds will be used for these additional items: 1) Extended Learning Programs 2) Instructional Materials and Supplies 3) Technology Resources that support instruction

Parent Involvement Set Aside Every Title I school must have a written parent involvement policy, developed with and approved by parents. It should spell out how parents will be involved in a meaningful way. Schools have to set aside money for parent involvement activities: CCMS Title I Teachers, one fulltime Parent Liaison, workshops every month and additional support for parents. Parents can help decide what to do with the money set aside for parent support.

Title I Parent Handbook and Title I Parent Involvement Policy The Title I Parent Handbook provides you with detailed information about Title I from the district, state, and federal level. Additional information can be located in our Title I Parent Center. The Title I Parent Involvement Policy describes our plan for involving you and other parents in your children’s education.

Title I Parent Center We have a very active Parent Center located on the blue hallway on the bus entrance. Mrs. Anita Davis is the Parent Liaison. The Parent Center resources and the Liaison are here to support you in meeting the instructional needs of your children. Our Parent Center is a place you can always go for assistance. The Center will be offering many workshops/ training sessions for parents throughout this school year. (See handout provided in your title 1 package)

Title I School/Parent Compact One way we support student achievement is through a Title I School/Parent Compact. The Compact is an agreement we make together as administrators, teachers, parents, and students about the kinds of things we will each do to ensure your children are meeting grade level expectations. Research shows that when parents know what their children are doing in school and help support them at home, children will be more successful in school. Parents who serve on the Title I Committee help revise our School/Parent Compact every year. Title I Committee meets in January and May.

Volunteering and Parent Needs Please make sure that you sign–in on the computer next to the wall located on the table by the front entrance in the Parent Center. We also ask that you sign-in when you visit come to all our evening events. We appreciate your help in documenting your involvement in our school’s parent programs.

Parents’ Rights As a parent, you have rights that you should understand. You have the right to request information about the qualifications (certification and teaching credentials) of your child’s teacher or paraprofessional. You have rights under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) to be notified of any planned student activities and surveys for marketing services and certain physical examinations conducted by the school district. In addition, you have the right to review and opt out of such surveys and activities.

Thank you to all of our parents, students, teachers, and support staff for your commitment to our school and for being here tonight. Together we can attain success for all of our students. As the achievement standard continue to rise, we will meet the even higher goals that have been set for us this year.
