Our school is proud to be a Title I School, which means we receive federal funding to support all students in reaching academic success. Title I helps us provide additional resources, small group instruction, family engagement opportunities, and programs that benefit the whole school community.

Being a Title I school means we are committed to partnering with families and the community to ensure every student thrives.

Title I is a federal program that provides additional funding to schools with higher numbers of students from low-income households. These funds are used to help all students succeed by providing extra support in reading, math, and other essential skills. In Rockingham County Schools, all K–5 schools receive Title I support based on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Rockingham County has adopted a district wide Title I Parent Involvement Policy (Policy code 1320/3560) that can be accessed by returning to the home site and clicking on Board of Education. 

More information about Title I can be found at North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s Federal Programs Website under Parent and Family Engagement.

Every year, parents, students, and teachers sign a School-Parent Compact to show our shared responsibility in helping each child succeed. This compact outlines goals and commitments from each party to support learning and growth throughout the year.

Each year, our school hosts a Title I Annual Meeting for families. This meeting explains what Title I is, how it supports students, and how parents can get involved in planning and reviewing the school’s Title I program. Meetings are held at flexible times and often paired with Open House or PTO events to encourage participation.

As a Title I district, Rockingham County Schools must meet federal requirements outlined in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). These laws ensure transparency and accountability in teacher qualifications and student achievement.
