Title I School Wide Program

  • Westernport Elementary School implements a school wide Title I program. This supplemental program provides additional resources to students and staff. These resources include additional instructional staff, instructional materials, parent programs, and professional development. The amount of funding for each school is based upon the percent of students meeting the criteria for Free and Reduced Meals. The School Improvement Plan outlines the focus of the Title I school wide program. Parents are invited to review and comment on this plan at any time. Copies of the plan are in the school office.

    The Title I program is part of the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. As part of this legislation, parent and family input and engagement are recognized as key components in student success. A summary of the school’s Parent and Family Engagement Plan is distributed to all families.  Parents are encouraged to participate in the following opportunities.

    1. Parent input is requested on the development and review of the:
                   School Improvement Plan
