Title I School Improvement Strategies
Mississippi Elementary school is a Title I Schoolwide building that receives funding to support our students’ academic needs. We have selected these goals to help all students:
- Multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) for students in reading, math, and social-emotional learning
- Collaboration and data analysis to strengthen the Tier 1 academic program in literacy and mathematics for all students
- Professional development for school staff to learn and implement strategies for creating and maintaining an engaging, safe, and respectful learning environment
- Progress on these school efforts will be reported to families at PTO meetings January 15, March 19 and May 21.
