Title I Requirements

COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT of the entire school (including the needs of migrant children) with information about the academic achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards.
Describe the process utilized to conduct the comprehensive needs assessment for this school.

The previous year's assessment data from the FSA, BAFS scores,  the Common Formative Assessments (CFAs), FAIR,   and diagnostics tests were organized with graphs, tables, and charts. Information was organized to show individual teacher, grade level, and school wide results. The school-wide results were shared at a faculty PLC, and Individual student results were given to classroom teachers for their review.

A parent survey is sent home each spring to gather input concerning curriculum, environment, and communication. Results from this survey are used to help write goals and objectives for the school.

Parents are invited to give imput on student achievement results and strategies for improving scores. Suggestions are discussed with staff and considered for inclusion in school wide plans.
