Title I & Family Engagement

GES is a Targeted Title I school. Title I funds in a Targeted Assistance school are used to improve the academic achievement of identified Title I students. Students are identified based on multiple, objective, educationally related criteria.

Title I teachers and/or tutors must be highly qualified and are responsible for providing supplemental services to identified students. Title I staff coordinate with other school personnel and involve parents in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Title I program.

There is extensive information about Title I on the main QACPS website. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Parents’ Right to Know (English and Spanish versions)
• Family Engagement Resources
• Family Communication Plans
• Title I Contacts
• News & Updates
