What does it mean to be a Title I School?
Schools with at least 35% of students receiving free or reduced meals are eligible for Title I funds. In Catawba County Schools, we have chosen to focus Title I funding on elementary school literacy and math. We have done so because we believe early intervention is key to future success. Being a Title I school brings many additional opportunities to the school family & community. It brings extra funding that can be used to support instruction through smaller class sizes, more teacher assistants, tutors and academic facilitators, as well as additional funding for materials, technology, and professional development.
Parent Engagement Policy
Parent and Family Engagement is essential to our students’ success. Parents are their children’s first teachers, and their continued engagement in the educational process is critical to fostering and improving educational achievement. In addition to being involved in your child’s school, parents are also invited to participate at the district level by attending Title I Parent Advisory Council meetings and providing feedback regarding services and funding.
