Each year, the Dassa McKinney Elementary Title I team sponsors family engagement events. This year, the dates for the fall and spring events have been advertised so families can mark these times on their calendars: October 24 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. and March 19 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. We will send out more information closer to these events.
Dassa McKinney Elementary is a Schoolwide Title I program. Title I is a federally funded program meant to provide assistance to students according to need. Every teacher and every student is considered Title I because of our schoolwide designation.
We also hold an annual Title I meeting at a PTO Meeting in the fall to talk about our Title I Plan and Family Engagement activities. This year’s meeting will be on October 15 at 6:30 p.m. Dassa McKinney’s Schoolwide Title I Plan prioritizes Title I support by providing instructional interventions in the kindergarten through second-grade English Language Arts classrooms and third through sixth-grade math classrooms.
