NCLB and Title I SchoolsPURPOSE of Title I
In 2001, the federal government passed the NCLB Act which provided identified schools with federal funds for the purpose of supplementing the instructional program of schools to ensure a high quality education for students that would help them meet the state standard (currently STAAR – State of Texas Assessment for Academic Readiness).
These “supplemental” federal funds are used to:• Accelerate instruction for struggling students,• Provide professional-development for teachers and paraprofessionals,• Hire highly qualified personnel,• Give additional resources – technology, personnel, materials, instructional
programs, software, and• Encourage parent and family involvement.

Ideas for Student SuccessIdeas for Student Success
• Check your child’s planner everyday - all teachers require students to write down daily assignments and homework.
• Have a specific place and designated time (the earlier the better) to do homework – have your child do homework as soon as he/she gets home from school.
• Have your child review the day’s work and notes with you - this will help your child remember what he learned.

Make Up Work
• When a child is absent from school, extra time( five school days – HISD policy) will be given to hand in assignments, exceptions will be off campus choir performance or science fair.
• Any missed test days will be made up the following class day.

How will I know what my child is doing and if
he is doing it?

Do’s and Don’ts • Do review their class notes with
them each day.
• Do read the literature with them and discuss it to be sure they understand.
• Do encourage them to ask questions and seek help.
• Do review their work and encourage them to do their best.
• Please don’t:• Redo their writing
assignments - resist the temptation to revise and edit your child’s paper. It is important that I see each child’s true abilities - strengths and weaknesses - in order to help them improve.
