Title I, II, III and IV are federally funded grants designed to help students reach high academic achievement. Insight PA participates in a school-wide Title Program. We value the importance of a strong home and school connection. In an effort to support this belief, we are asking for your feedback. This will help inform school administration about the effectiveness of our communication with parents and how to improve our Parent and Family Engagement Policy.
All families who complete the survey linked below by Sunday, December 22nd will be entered into a drawing for an item of their choice (up to $35) from our school store. Section two of the survey must be completed in order to be entered into the drawing.
December 3rd is Giving Tuesday!
This year, the Insight PA Education Foundation is hoping to support Insight PA students' participation in FBLA competitions across the state, as well as our senior prom and graduation ceremony at the end of the year. If you are able, please consider making a donation to help the foundation empower our students and make a lasting impact in their lives!
What is Title I?
Title I, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), is a federal program that provides financial assistance to schools. This funding is used to provide additional academic support and learning opportunities for students at schools with high percentages of economically disadvantaged children. The program is intended to help ensure that all students meet or exceed challenging state academic standards.
The goals of Title I are to:
- Increase academic achievement
- Provide direct instructional support to students
- Provide professional development for teachers
- Promote parent and family education and engagement
Parent and Family Engagement
Insight PA believes that Parent and Family Engagement is of paramount importance to student success. Every Title I school, in collaboration with parents, must prepare a school level Parent and Family Engagement policy. The Parent and Family Engagement Policy describes how the school will involve families in an organized, ongoing, and timely way, in the planning, review, and improvement of the Title I program at their school.
Right to Know
This letter lets you know about your right to request information about the qualifications of classroom staff working with your child and information about student assessments given during the school year.
