What is Schoolwide Title I?
Turbotville and Watsontown Elementary Schools both offer Schoolwide Title I programs. Title I is a federally funded program designed to support the academic growth of all students. The funds generated through the Title I grant are targeted to ensure that all students have access to supplemental instruction in reading and math, research based instructional strategies and assessments, and highly qualified teachers.

Our Title I staff consists of five reading and two math interventionists. These staff members work with classroom teachers to support and instruct struggling students, as determined by standard assessments, running records, and teacher observations. This is a fluid, multi-tiered system of supports available to any student any time throughout the school year.


 * Academic assessment, interventions and supports include:
 * Benchmark reading assessment (DIBELs) of all students three times a year to monitor their reading level
 * Intervention programs such as Fundations, Read Naturally, and 95% Group, Wilson, and RAVE-O interventions which improve reading skills like phonics, fluency and comprehension
 * Individual support for struggling learners who require support beyond our intervention programs
 * Additional, small group support for students struggling in our Everyday Math program
 * Parent communication and resources to support students reading and math at home



=Right to Know= The Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires school districts that receive federal Title 1 funds to notify parents/guardians of their right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct their child.

As a recipient of these funds, the Warrior Run School District will provide you with this information in a timely manner if you request. Specifically, you have the right to request the following information regarding each of your child's classroom teachers: The Warrior Run School District is committed to providing quality instruction for all students and does so by employing the most qualified individuals to teach each student in the classroom. If you would like to receive any of the information listed above for your child, please contact the office where the child attends school.
 * Whether the teacher meets Pennsylvania qualifications and licensing criteria for the grades and subjects he or she teaches.
 * Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status through which Pennsylvania licensing criteria is waived.
 * The teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and the field of discipline of the certificate or degree.
