Title 1 Program

Dear Families,

Bay View Elementary School has been operating a school-wide Title 1 program, providing many benefits for all students. This Title 1 funding comes from the federal government. Some of the many benefits include:

TITLE ONE RESOURCE TEACHER
Provides teacher support, resources, technology support, and classroom support.

INTERVENTION TEACHERS (3)
Provide reading and math assistance in ALL classrooms.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT ADVISOR
Provides family workshops, a volunteer program, family support for school involvement, family resources, PTO support, community support, school-wide activities, Parents as Teachers program for 3 and 4 year olds.

OTHER BENEFITS
Being a Title 1 School qualifies us for the Maryland Meals for Achievement Program, which provides free breakfast for all students. We have the RIF Program, funded by our PTO and other local funds, that provides all students with free books they can keep. Our Title 1 funding also provides us with before-school reading and math intervention programs, the Study Island online computer program for students in grades K-5, additional classroom resources, and Parent & Child Magazines for Pre-School through First grade. This year we have purchased 37 new classroom computers and 5 additional Smart Boards using Title 1 funds.

The above Title 1 benefits are provided to schools based on free and reduced lunch counts. Applications for free or reduced price meals are available in the school office. IF YOU QUALIFY, PLEASE RETURN YOUR APPLICATION TO BAY VIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! All information is strictly confidential.

With your support, the faculty and staff of Bay View Elementary hope to continue these successful programs provided by Title 1.

Title I and ”No Child Left Behind”

One of the stipulations of the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001” is that parents have the rights to know the qualifications of the people who teach their children. The Cecil County Public System is pleased with the level of skill and competence of our teacher workforce. We will provide this information as requested. If you would like to know the specific qualifications of your child’s teacher and/or paraprofessional, please send the office a written request.

We are very pleased to share with you that 100% of the employees at Bay View Elementary are considered “Highly Qualified” as prescribed by the No Child Left Behind Act.
