    Our school is a federally funded Title I school. Title I requires schools to create a positive and supportive learning environment that results in high levels of achievement for all students. Funding is available for academic programs and strategies, additional teachers and staff, professional development, materials, supplies, technology, and parent training. We look forward to working with you and your child to make this a rewarding year

    *Ask your child's teacher what you can do to help. Stay up to date on how your child is doing.

    *Share your experience, talents, and knowledge with the learning coach or principal.
