Title 1

Elementary & Secondary Education Act (ESEA)

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

What is Title I Part A?

Title I is part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. This legislation provides federal funds to help students in schools with high economic needs achieve high standards. The overall objective is to enable all students to meet all state and local student performance objectives and for all schools to achieve the Annual Measurable Objectives targets set by the New Jersey Department of Education.

At this time, both the Morris Goodwin School and Stow Creek School receive Title I funding. As such, the funds are used for afterschool academic programs, family involvement programs, as well as supplemental instructional materials, professional development and other school-wide and district initiatives.

Family & Community Engagement

A critical component of the ESSA Title I is parent outreach. All Title I schools are mandated to implement school level family involvement programs through meaningful consultation with parents to provide opportunities to increase their knowledge and skills related to their children’s education. As annual Parent Teacher conferences are mandatory under the grant, Greenwich Stow Creek Partnership Schools hold conferences around November 18^th each year. Additional conferences may occur at other mutually convenient times.

Each school is required to create, with the guidance from parents and community members, and disseminate a School Parent Compact as well as distribute the District and School Parent Involvement Policy, which outlines the positive expectations of each partner (School, teachers, and students) which leads to student success. Parents of our district should look forward to workshops and programs, which focus upon strategies to help their children improve their academic performance, as well as how to improve the family as a whole. Each school has a Parent Liaison/Community Parent Involvement Specialist who works directly with parents and the community in order to provide workshops and information pertinent to each school’s goals.
