Goals of Title I

• Identifying students experiencing academic difficulties and providing timely assistance to help these students meet the State’s challenging content standards.
• Purchasing supplemental staff/programs/materials/supplies
• Conducting Parental Involvement Meetings/Trainings/Activities
• Recruiting/Hiring/Retaining Highly Qualified Teachers

Requirements of a Title I School

• Holding an annual meeting to explain Title I policy and programs.
• Providing families with up-to-date academic information about their children in an easy to understand format.
• Offering families a flexible number of meetings on Title I policy and programs.
• Involving families in the decision making process on how family involvement dollars are spent.
• Providing families with a compact entered by the school, the parent, and the child acknowledging responsibility for student success.

Parents Right to Know

Parents/Guardians in the Sacaton Elementary School District have the right to learn about the following qualifications of their child's teacher:

• state licensure requirements for the grade level and content areas taught

• the current licensing status of your child's teacher

• baccalaureate/graduate certification/degree.

You may also request the qualifications of an instructional paraprofessional who serves your student in a Title I program or if your school operates a school wide Title I program. 

Parents/Guardians may request this information from the Office of the Superintendent by calling 520-562-8600 or by sending a letter of request to the Office of the Superintendent, PO Box 98, Sacaton Arizona 85147. The Sacaton Elementary School District ensures that parents will be notified in writing if their child has been assigned, or has been taught by a teacher for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not considered highly qualified.
