Title I Family Engagement

What is Title I?

Title I, Part A is a federally funded program under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The purpose of Title I under ESSA is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

Westside Elementary is a Title I School. We are eligible for Title I based on our percentage of students eligible for free and reduced lunch. All students in our school benefit from these funds. All Title I schools must include parent input in the development of a written Parent and Family Engagement plan.

Parent input is a vital component of the Title I Program, the purpose of the Parent Action Committee is to develop and revise Title I documents such as the Family Engagement plan and the School-Parent compact. Parent suggestions are always welcomed and encouraged throughout the school year and from the Parent Satisfaction Survey every spring.

Your input also guides the planning of the workshops and activities for the next school year, which we include in our school's Family Engagement Plan. We gladly welcome your input and ideas!

Our Parent Action Meeting took place November 3rd at 5pm. Contact Amethyst Harvey if you are interested in more information about our PAC at 478-210-8263 or at amethyst.harvey@hcbe.net
