Title I Schoolwide Programs

All elementary and middle schools in the David Douglas School District are designated schoolwide Title I schools. Federal Title I funds are used to strengthen instructional programs and support student learning.

The schoolwide Title I model provides a system of support for all students. Schools use assessment results and classroom data to identify students who may need additional support in reading and/or math, and targeted assistance is provided as needed.

In addition to schoolwide Title I services for students, all elementary and middle schools provide parents with opportunities to review and give input on School Improvement Plans, school policies, and school-parent-student compacts.

Communication with families will address the following Title I components:

• Providing rigorous, effective instruction in all content by highly qualified teachers and staff;
• Offering high-quality, ongoing professional learning opportunities for staff;
• Creating strategies to increase parental involvement as well as including parent feedback and input into all policies and improvement plans;
• Implementing district systems to ensure that students who experience difficulty attaining proficiency receive effective, timely, additional assistance; and
• Ensuring that plans are reviewed on an on-going basis and revised when necessary.

We look forward to working with all parents, guardians, and family members to create the most effective school experience for all students in the David Douglas community.
