The program serves all students from kindergarten through fifth grade in the areas of reading, language and mathematics. The goal of Title I is to supplement the classroom curriculum and support the learner's environment. Last year nearly 17,000 instructional books were read both at home and in the school by all kindergarten through second grade students. Third through fifth grade students receive assistance in the classroom from Title I aides during Writer's Workshop. We encourage the development of writing through classroom publishing projects.
Technology is incorporated into the curriculum.
