To assess and document the growth of each child

To collaborate with staff to work effectively as a team

Delivery of Services:

The Title 1 Program in the Groveport Madison Local Schools is an inclusive educational program.

…in-class modeling
…creating opportunities for students to learn together
…focusing on students’ abilities and possibilities
…insuring that all staff, students, and parents work together as a team

Family Involvement:

Research indicates that parent involvement in children’s education has a significant positive impact that leads to higher test scores, better grades, and more consistent attendance. This interaction also creates a positive attitude toward learning.

Some ways parents can help at home are:

Show interest in their child’s schoolwork. Send their child to school every day and on time unless they are ill.
Communicate regularly with the school and teacher.
Read! Read! Read! Parents set an example.
Monitor time spent watching TV and playing video games.
Children learn best when they come to school rested and ready to learn. Parents are positive and encouraging as their child goes off to school each day.

The Groveport Madison Title 1 team, together with families, will work in partnership to support the children of our district and help them reach their greatest potential!
