What’s Cookin’ at Walkerville Schools?
All students are entitled to the same core services… or the same ingredients in their cake.
Classroom TeachersSpecial Education Services (as
necessary)Behind the scenes
Administration, upkeep of the school, transportation
Everyone receives these services
Even though each student receives the same basic services, Walkerville Public Schools is able to offer
much more through other State and Federal Programs.
Each student’s cake is decorated differently, depending on individual needs and programs he or she qualifies for.
What are the extra toppings?In Elementary and Middle School the
“frosting on the cake” comes from Schoolwide Title I services.
Title I provides additional funding in order provide services to meet the needs of students.
One determining factor for a school to qualify for Schoolwide Title I services is a very high free and reduced lunch rate.

What other “toppings” do we offer to all students who qualify?
Homeless ServicesEnglish Language
Learner ServicesMigrant Services21st Century Program
Services (Project FOCUS and PACE
Title X, Part C (of the No Child Left Behind Act)
All parents complete a Residency Questionnaire upon registration
If “Section A” is marked indicating that the student lives:
In a shelter
With one or more family in a house or apartment because of economic hardship
In a motel, car or campsite
In a home of someone other than a parent or legal guardian
Then that family may be considered “Homeless”
Homeless Services are intended to enable the student to continue within their original school district and fully participate in school activities.
Transportation is one of the most common services, along with school supplies.
(The school receives no additional funding for these services)
English Language Learner Services(Title III)
All Families complete a Home Language Survey upon enrollment
If the student’s home language is a language other than English, that student may qualify for Title III Services
The student is then given an English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA), which is mandated by the state, to determine if the student qualifies for services
All students language acquisition needs are first addressed by the classroom teachers
Walkerville’s staff has been trained and is implementing Sheltered Instruction to support ELL students (and all others) in the regular classroom setting
Title III funds then can be used after school and in the summer to provide additional language acquisition services for ELL students
Parent ESL classes After a student scores “Advanced
Proficient for 2 years in a row, they are exited from Title III, ELL services and monitored for 2 years to be sure they are succeeding academically.
Parents will receive notification of eligibility for services and ELPA scores
Migrant Education ServicesTitle IC and Title IC Summer
Families who move to seek agricultural work are considered Migrant
Migrant Students typically move schools every school year
Each time a child changes schools they can lose up to 9 months of their education, as well as many high school credits, due to differences in State Standards and Local curriculum
