Program Description Title 1 is a federal program
providing financial aid to school
districts throughout the country to support supplementary educational
programs for those students who qualify. The allocation of funds for
each school district is based on a legislative formula dependent upon
the distribution of low income children and state per pupil
expenditures. However, Title 1 services in Nottingham are provided to
all children at targeted grade levels who qualify as needing assistance
in reading/language arts or mathematics regardless of income. Program Benefits It is our expectation that children who receive Title 1 services will be able to achieve closer to their individual potential resulting in improved basic math and reading skills. Research indicates that students participating in Title 1 make gains in their academic achievement. Eligibility Requirements Selection criteria for participation in our Title 1 program includes:
Title 1 Staff Currently, Nottingham’s Title 1
Grant supports one full time math tutor plus a part-time program
coordinator. Unfortunately, due to the loss of stimulus funds and a
reduction in regular program federal funding, the part time tutor
position has been eliminated from the Title 1 program. Our full time
tutor is Mrs. Karen Noel who is an experienced N.H. certified
elementary teacher who has worked with students at several grade
levels. Our part time coordinator’s position is held by Richard A.
Jenisch, also a N.H. certified K-8 teacher and administrator with over
42 years of experience in education. Parental Involvement Nottingham School is committed
to
the involvement of parents
in the education of their children. We encourage your help and
assistance in a variety of ways:
Permission Forms A parent must sign a permission form before a child can participate in the Title 1 Program at Nottingham School. The form will include all pertinent information regarding the tutoring offered. Along with this form, parents will be provided a copy of the Parent Involvement Policy and the School’s Learning Compact (see below). Parent must sign and acknowledge that they have read and have accepted Parental Responsibilities as outline in the Learning Compact. Meetings The Annual Title 1 Parent Meeting is held each fall during Open House. The purpose of the meeting is to explain the Title 1 Program, meet with Title 1 staff, and discuss how parents can become involved in their child’s education. Program Planning and Evaluation In addition to feedback from the annual parent meeting, a questionnaire/survey is sent home to Title 1 parents seeking input into the program and how participation impacted on their child. The results of that survey will be used to evaluate the total program and to determine what, if any changes should be considered. Parent Information A Title 1 newsletter is distributed to Title 1 parents quarterly or more often as necessary to keep parents informed and up to date. Additional notices are sent announcing special parent meetings and trainings. The Nottingham School website contains awealth of information on Title 1 services as well as useful information on how parents can work with their children to improve math and reading skills. Title 1 program policies and procedures are attached to permission forms and to SES correspondence to parents.
