**West Central School District**
 * PARENT COMPACT for TITLE I**

As a result of our assessment, your child has been selected to receive additional assistance from the Title I program. In order to increase the academic gains of your child, the work done in Title I will require a team effort. This team is made up of teachers, parents and students, each of which has their own separate responsibilities.

As a teacher, I am an important part of the team. I believe that Title I is an important part of your child’s educational program and I will support and encourage your child in the Title I program by:
 * Meeting with your child on a daily basis to teach reading and/or math strategies to help him or her become an independent learner.
 * Using high quality, researched based curriculum and assessment with your child.
 * Sending home Title I progress reports four times per year with report cards.
 * Being available to answer questions or address concerns.
 * Being available at parent/teacher conferences (twice a year), or parents may schedule a conference at other times by calling and making arrangements.
 * Being available before or after school daily, or during a scheduled time during the school day.
 * Providing parents opportunities to volunteer in the classroom.

As a parent, you are an important part of the Title I team. Your responsibilities are to support and encourage the Title I program by:
 * Listening to your child read on a regular basis.
 * Helping your child with assignments.
 * Attending Title I meetings
 * Volunteering in classrooms Monday- Friday to participate and observe classroom activities.
 * Contacting the Title I staff by phone, email, or personal visit if questions or concerns arise.

As a school, we are an important part of the team. Our responsibilities are to support and encourage the Title I program by:
 * Providing small group instruction.
 * Making data driven decisions.
 * Deepening students’ understanding of the CORE curriculum.

As a student, you are an important part of the Title I team. Your responsibilities are to support and encourage the Title I program by:
