  2. It is the cornerstone of the No Child Left Behind Act. It is intended to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high quality education to reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments (SOLs). Title I provides federal funding for schools to help students who are behind or at risk of falling behind. Funding depends on the level of poverty in the school. Two types of programs: School wide Programs and Target Assistance Schools What is Title I?

  3. Drewry Mason Elementary is a School Wide Title I School. We receive federal funds based on our percentage of students who participate in the free and reduced lunch program. Last year about 60% of Drewry Mason’s students received free or reduced lunch. The extra funding helps DMS to provide reading specialists, instructional assistants, and instructional supplies including technology programs. These teachers and assistants help our students who are most at risk of academic failure. They help teachers provide differentiated lessons which provides individualized instruction.

  4. Assessment • Because we receive federal funds, our SOL testing is closely monitored by the state and federal government and we are held accountable for our students’ scores. • VA was approved for a waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind Act. New benchmarks and student subgroups will soon be established and published.

  5. Virginia Accreditation Standards SOL Tests • English and Math for grades 3, 4 and 5 • Social Studies and Science in grades 3 and 5. • Writing in grade 5 (part of the English scores) • On the 2013 SOL tests, DME met the benchmarks, and it is anticipated that we will be fully accredited for the 2013-2014 school year. • Testing Dates (Spring 2014).
