FLINT COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

WELCOME TO THE 
TITLE I PROGRAM WEBSITE

The program emphasizes in-class support with Title I teachers collaborating and working together as a team with classroom teachers. Title I instructors are certified teachers working with students in small groups, allowing additional time for instruction and a lower student-teacher ratio. Students benefit from differentiated and effective instructional strategies which are designed to meet their individual learning needs. 

​​

Every school year, Title I Family Engagement Facilitators conduct a Parent Information Meeting at each elementary school. I urge parents of Title I students to make every effort to attend this meeting as it offers the opportunity to meet the Title I Family Engagement Facilitator in your school and gives an in-depth explanation about the components of the program. Family Engagement Facilitators are available for conferences on Parent Conference night, held in November and February of the school year.

​

Throughout the school year, they hold parent workshops at their schools. These workshops will focus on teaching parents strategies and activities they can use at home to strengthen their child’s reading, writing, and math skills.

​

​Each elementary school houses a Title I Parent Resource Center with language arts and math materials that parents may borrow throughout the school year. The Parent Resource Center link on this website gives an in-depth listing of the materials which are available to borrow. 

​

Title I programs generally offer: 

• Smaller classes or special instructional spaces 

• Additional teachers 

• Opportunities for professional development for school staff 

• Extra time for teaching Title I students the skills they need 

• A variety of supplementary teaching methods 

• Additional teaching materials which supplement a student’s regular instruction 

• Implementation of family evening events to provide strategies and techniques in both reading and math 

​

PARENTS AND GUARDIANS, you can influence the success of your child in school by becoming an active participant in the Title I parent involvement plan. You will: 

​

• Serve as a role model, showing your child that you support his/her education. 

• Assure that you are aware of your child’s educational progress; thereby demonstrating how important that progress is to you.

• Teach your child that your input at the school is appreciated and that you support its efforts. ​
