Title I Information

What is Title I?

Montclair Elementary School is identified as a Title I school as part of the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). Title I is designed to support state and local school reform efforts tied to the challenging state academic standards to improve teaching and learning for students. Title I programs must be based on effective means of improving student achievement and include strategies to support family engagement. All Title I schools must develop with parents and family members a written parent and family engagement policy.

Students participating in the Title I, Part A program, and their families, agree that this compact outlines how the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement.  It also describes how the school and parents will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the challenging state academic standards. Please review the attached School-Family Compact.

The School-Family Compact will be discussed with you throughout the year at different School-Family events as we work together to help your child succeed in school. We look forward to our School-Family partnership!
