Title I helps to ensure all children reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. Although Title One has changed over the years; the goal has always been to help students in need. The primary goal of Title I is to develop in each child:

-- a feeling of success and self-confidence -- develop a positive attitude toward themselves so

that they become interested in the learning process.  -- to provide classroom atmosphere where frequent

encouragement and praise will help the students take the next step they need in their personal educational skills.

We are fortunate to be a part of this continuing process.
