We are excited to announce that Insight PA Cyber Charter School has created the Insight PA Education Foundation to help provide additional resources to our students. The Foundation is currently in the process of implementing its first program initiative, Fuel Up to Learn. This pilot program will provide eligible Insight PA students in Chester County with free and nutritious breakfasts and lunches for a 3-week trial period. The Foundation hopes to be able to offer this program to more of our students in the future, but they need your help!

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.
