OES Compact

 

Title I is the nation’s largest federal program for schools. It provides funding for increasing student achievement in schools. It is based on the economic level of families in the school’s attendance area.

The purpose of Title I is as follows: 

• Help every child receive a high-quality education. 

• Build capacity for family engagement. 

• Meet the requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Act.

Parent involvement policy-The staff, and parents of OES believe that the improved academic achievement of each student is a responsibility shared by the entire school community. This includes the school district, school administration, school, staff, members, students, community members, and parents (as defined for purposes of this policy, and to include guardians and all members of a student family involved in the students education).

School Family Compact-All parents, students, and school staff members are asked to sign the OES compact at the beginning of the school year. The compact is an agreement between the parents, students, and school that says we will work together to ensure the academic success of every child.
