Family Engagement Events
Title 1 | Spring Open House
During our recent Spring Open House, we were pleased to host our Title I Meeting, where parents and guardians had the opportunity to learn more about how our school supports student learning. The meeting covered important topics such as curriculum, academic resources, and how Title I funding is used to enhance instruction. Families also received information on ways to stay involved and partner with teachers to ensure student success.
We appreciate everyone who attended and engaged in these valuable discussions!
