The Title I program helps schools and students meet state and local educational standards.

  14. Parents… you can influence the success of your child in school more than any teacher or federal program: • 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 student that your input at the school is appreciated and that you support its efforts.

You can become more involved by: • Supporting school extra-curricular activities. • Volunteering at the school. • Attending parent-teacher conferences. • Communicating with your child’s teacher regularly, by writing notes, telephoning the school, etc. • Keeping your child’s teacher informed about events in your child’s life which may affect his/her performance at school. • Discussing with your child’s teacher and parent organizations other ideas for parent involvement.
