Wahkiakum School District Is a Title I District

 

All of Wahkiakum School District schools qualify to receive federal funds under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Title I, Part A. Title I, Part A funding requires that schools create a positive and supportive learning environment that results in high levels of achievement for all students. Funds are available for academic programs and strategies, staff development, materials and supplies, and parent training.

Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of educationally at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state's challenging performance standards in mathematics, reading, and writing.

We invite all parents in our District to become involved in their child's education and the Wahkiakum School District's Parental Involvement Policy (4130) describes our Title 1 Community Relations Policies and Procedures in detail.

PLEASE NOTE: Title I -  "Parent's Right to Know" Regarding Teacher and Paraprofessional's Qualifications - Parents can request information regarding the professional qualifications of the classroom staff working with their child. Parents also have the right to request information regarding the qualifications of the paraprofessional assisting their child's teacher (if they are receiving Title I, Part A services from a paraprofessional). If making a request for this information, please put it in writing to Superintendent Brent Freeman and send it to the district office at 500 S 3rd B398, Cathlamet, WA 98612.

Research shows that how well students do in school depends a great deal upon how much their parents get involved in their education. Parents can become more involved by:

  • Joining school/parent organizations
  • Supporting school extra-curricular activities
  • Volunteering at your children's schools
  • Attending parent-teacher conferences
  • Communicating with your student's teacher regularly
  • Keeping your student's teacher informed about events in his or her life which may affect his/her performance at school

For more detailed information about the Title I, Part A federal program, visit the Title I, Part A and Learning Assistance Program (LAP) on the Washington State OSPI website or email our Title I/LAP Coordinator or call at 360-795-3261.

As a Title 1 District, We're Also Here to Offer Parents Resources

As we hear about resources that parents may be interested in, we'll be adding them here.

Family Home Survey

 

Schools receive certain federal and state funding (Learning Assistance Program, teacher incentives, etc.) based on the number of children from households that are at or below the federal poverty level. This Family Income Survey provides your child’s school a way to collect household income information. This information makes sure your child’s school receives the full amount of federal and state funding and makes sure your child receives services they are entitled to when free/reduced price applications are not collected.
