Title I - Family Engagement

Oakwood Terrace Elementary is a Title I School and therefore receives Title 1 Funding.

What is Title 1 Funding? According to the U.S. Department of Education the purpose of Title 1 funding, “is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments." This means we can provide extra assistance to students who need additional help with reading and math skills.

With the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act, schools must make adequate yearly progress on state testing and focus on best teaching practices in order to continue receiving funds.

Open the folder below for information about family engagement at our school.

Please see the HEB ISD Family Engagement, Community Outreach, and Teacher Support department website for more great information, including:

  • monthly newsletters,
  • math and reading strategies for each six weeks, and
  • community resources.
