Today’s Focus • Notice of Title I Status • AYP Status • Family Engagement Policies • Parent –Teacher Conferences • Teacher Qualification • Parents Right to Know
What is Title I Kingsbury Middle School is a Title I School. Which means we receive federal funds to ensure that our school is ran appropriately. Title I is a part of the No child left Behind Act, which requires that schools provide high quality instruction in a positive and supportive learning environment. *All parents should have received a packet that includes KMS’s Title I Notification-Parents Right to Know- and Family Engagement Plan
Adequate Yearly Progress(AYP) • AYP is defined as a school’s expected level of growth for a given school year. This number is assigned by the Department of Education. Unfortunately, we have been identified as a High Priority School this year. This is not because our test scores dropped, but because they stayed the same overall. • However, we are COMMITTED to ensuring that we provide the students with the necessary support to make ACADEMIC GAINS.
Family Engagement Plan & Parental Involvement Requirements Family Engagement Plan was developed to partner with families in an effort to provide Kingsbury’s students with a home-school-community environment that helps children achieve academic excellence.
