Parent Involvement Policy

As a school family, we each have a responsibility to stay informed by attending meetings and activities at our school and keeping up with parent/teacher communication. Sometimes we need to ask questions, listen, and make sacrifices: however children are our #1 responsibility and priority.

ALL LYTLE STUDENTS ARE TITLE I STUDENTS            ALL LYTLE TEACHERS ARE TITLE I TEACHERS

What is Title I?

Title I is a federal assistance program designed to meet the needs of all students.

Why are we a school-wide Title I campus?

We are a school-wide Title I campus because the funds that are provided by the Federal Government go to help meet the needs of ALL our students.  This funding helps improve the educational opportunities for the success of our children in the regular classroom, while fostering positive growth in social/emotional behaviors and attitudes.

TITLE I PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY

The purpose of parental involvement is to promote a school/home partnership that will help all students on every campus succeed.  Everyone gains if school and home work together.  Our goal is to provide the opportunity, the training and receive information for parents.  This will help parents assume a more meaningful role in improving students’ achievement and increase effectiveness when participating in the planning and evaluation of Title I programs.
