These monies are called Title I. Title I, Part A, requires that each Title I school hold an annual meeting for the parents and families whose children receive Title I services in order to: • Inform you of the school’s participation in Title I, Part A • Explain the requirements of Title I, Part A • Explain your rights and opportunities as parents and families to be involved in your child’s learning and achievement In lieu of the annual face-to-face meeting this article was developed, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to address all the above requirements without assembling multiple families together.

Dear Parents/Guardians: The Covid-19 pandemic presents new challenges maintaining a safe environment for students in all locations including school buses. To protect and support our families during this time, we ask that families not change bus route plans unless it is immediately necessary for children's supervision. This will help us with reduce the number of children coming into close contact with one another, thereby lowering the risk for potential quarantine.
