Title 1 - Holy Family Catholic School

What is Title I?

Title I is a federally funded program that provides reading enrichment for students performing near or below grade level. The goal is to help your child become a successful reader by providing lessons to reinforce reading strategies.

The program at HFCS services students in grades K-5 with Title I Teacher(s) and regular classroom teachers working together to meet the needs of identified students. Title I teachers provide the necessary tools and knowledge to support your child to become a proficient reader.

Highly Qualified Status

Our Title I teacher meets “Highly Qualified” status as required by the Federal Government. As a parent, you have a right to request information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s teachers.

Title I Goal

The Goal of the Title I Reading program is to provide students with the basic reading and writing skills needed to succeed in their classroom and meet state proficiency levels.

Holy Family is building support for strong family engagement by:

Developing and reviewing jointly with parents, a Parent/School partnership letter that outlines the manner in which parents, school staff, and students share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement in meeting state standards. It also communicates the proficiency levels that students are expected to meet.
Informing parents of Holy Family Catholic School's status as a school-wide Title I School in writing and/or on the school’s website.
Providing an annual informational meeting in which all parents of children who attend Holy Family Catholic School will be invited.
Keeping parents informed of their child’s academic progress, through conferences, phone calls, and/or written reports in order to formulate decisions relating to the education of their child.

Presenting opportunities for parents to volunteer in the Title I program.
Providing parents with specific support strategies and materials, as needed, to help their child with all academic subjects at home.
Inviting parents throughout the year (mornings and/or evenings) to participate in the planning, review and improvement of the Title I program. This may include, but is not limited to, establishing how to use parent involvement funds, developing and reviewing the parental involvement policy, and providing opportunities for parents to observe their child at school working within the Title I program.
