Title 1 Services

Three elementary schools in the Edina Public Schools have targeted assistance programs: Cornelia Elementary School, Countryside Elementary School and Creek Valley Elementary School.

Title I staff, along with classroom teachers, administer grade-level assessments to determine student eligibility. If your child qualifies, you will be informed by your child's classroom teacher. Students do not have to participate in the free/reduced lunch program to qualify.

Title I primarily serves students in grades K through 5, both in reading and math. Title I teachers are trained in a variety of research-based instructional methods to best meet the needs of individual students. Typically the Title I teachers provide their services to students in a small-group setting outside the regular classroom.

There are several ways parents can become involved in both your child's school and the Title I program. These include participating in an annual meeting, attending conferences and open houses, or serving as a Title I site representative. Each school site also has developed its own plan for ensuring parent involvement in Title I services.
