Title I is a federal program designed to help all students reach high academic standards. The purpose of this survey is to gather information from school staff, parents, and community stakeholders that will help us develop our district Title I plan.  Our plan will be presented to the School Board in June.  All surveys should be completed by May 26, 2023.  Contact your school administrators if you have any questions.

In order to provide continuing support for North Carolina’s youngest readers, The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Office of Early Learning has developed and released “Literacy at Home.” This digital resource provides literacy activities at each grade level, pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Families and communities may access this resource for activities that specifically target the literacy skills of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and oral language. When children grow in each of these foundational areas they are well on their way to becoming proficient readers.
