Title 1 FundsOur reading program is supported by New York State Title 1 Funds.
In the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, Title 1 Funds are used at John Paulding School to support our reading teacher, Ms. Adams. Ms. Adams provides support services for students who are in danger of not meeting NYS Common Core Standards for entry into Grade 1.
Students are added to reading groups with Ms. Adams for a variety of reasons:
● Reading/Language assessments throughout the year (Fall/Winter/Spring)● Classroom teacher observations
Ms. Adams will be in contact with you if services are needed.
