What is Title l?

Title I Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides funding to districts and schools with high percentages of economically disadvantaged families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. (Title I Part A – Federal Grant Programs)

In Tewksbury, Title l is offered at the LF Dewing Elementary School, Ryan Elementary School, Wynn Middle School and Tewksbury Memorial High School. Tewksbury is a Targeted Assistance District.

How do students qualify for Title l support?

Tewksbury Public Schools has procedures outlining the process used to identify any students most at risk of not meeting academic standards on the basis of multiple, educational objective criteria established by the district. Eligibility is not determined by economic status. We complete data reviews that look at DIBELS assessments, IXL assessments, MCAS data, and classroom performance over a range of time.

Title I Family Engagement Plans

Tewksbury Public Schools is committed to building strong partnerships with families to support student learning and academic success. Family engagement is an important part of our Title I program, and we recognize the valuable role families play in their children’s education.

Our District and School Title I Family Engagement Plans outline how we communicate with families, provide opportunities for meaningful involvement, and work together to support student achievement.

Families are encouraged to review the plans below to learn more about our shared commitment to student success.

Right to Know – LF Dewing Elementary School, Ryan Elementary School, Wynn Middle School and Tewksbury Memorial High School

As schools that receive federal Title I funds, you have the right to request the following information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers:

  • Whether your child’s teacher is licensed in the grade levels and subject areas they teach
  • Whether your child’s teacher is teaching under an emergency license or waiver
  • The college degree and major of your child’s teacher
  • Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications?If parents/guardians would like to request information about their child’s teacher, please reach out to the building principal.
