Title I is the nations largest federal program for schools. It provides funding for increasing student achievement in schools. It is based on the economic level of families in the school's attendance area.

The purpose of Title I is to:

• Help every child receive a high-quality education.
• Build capacity for family engagement.
• Meet requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Act.

Family Involvement Policy - The staff and parents of Ridgeview Elementary School believe that the improved academic achievement of each student is a responsibility shared by the entire school community. This includes District 49, RVES admin, school staff members, students, families, and community members.

School / Family Compact - This compact is an agreement between families, students, staff, and the school that says we will work together to ensure the academic success of every student.

As a parent, I will:

• Model respect and positivity for students and staff.
• Ensure my child comes to school and is on time.
• Attend all parent/teacher conferences.
• Monitor homework and create a space for my child to be successful.
• Monitor screen time.
• Communicate with school staff regarding my child's needs.
• Participate in school activities.
• Volunteer in the classroom as I'm able to.
• Support and follow rules and procedures of the school and District 49.

As a student, I will:

• Follow the social contract.
• Show respect to others as well as myself.
• Listen to and follow instructions.
• Stay on task and complete all assignments to the best of my ability.
• Follow all school rules, policies, procedures, and regulations.

As a staff member, I will:

• Provide a high quality and encouraging curriculum.
• Facilitate the district Title I School Compact.
• Encourage families to be involved in understanding Title I.
• Provide materials and suggestions to help parents work with their students.
• Share frequent reports on their student's progress.
