Wilkes-Barre Area School District

Title I is a 100% federally funded supplemental education program that provides financial assistance to local educational agencies to improve educational opportunities for educationally deprived children. Title I programs are designed to help children meet the state content and performance standards in reading, language arts, and mathematics.

 

The best thing parents can do to support a child's academic achievement is get involved in the school community. All students in Wilkes-Barre Area School District are Title I students as all schools are designated Title I Schools. 

The Wilkes-Barre Area School District recognizes that partnership between families and schools are a strong foundation for educational success. Each school, in collaboration with parents, writes its own Parent Engagement Policy.

Parents have a right to know the extent of their child's progress. This can be achieved by parent-teacher meetings and active involvement through homework assignments as well as encouraging reading and conversation with their child.
