Federal Programs

The Webster Groves School District receives federal funds through programs such as Title I, Title II, and Title IV.  These funds provide additional resources by supplementing district funds for extra services to students, coaching/professional development for teachers, and parent involvement activities.

Parent involvement is an important part of federal funding.  Schools and districts receiving funds are required to implement programs and activities that include and promote parent involvement.  Schools must also provide opportunities for parents to increase their knowledge as it relates to their child’s educational experience in terms of curriculum, assessments and instructional strategies.

·         Communicating with teachers by email, phone notes, etc.

·         Keeping teachers and school team informed about events in your child’s life, which may affect school performance

School-Parent Compact
A Title I school-parent compact is a written agreement between the school and the parents that identifies the activities that the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will undertake to share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement.

In support of strengthening student academic achievement, WGSD Schools receive Title I, Part A funds and will be carrying out the requirements of The Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA) Section 1116. Please see your school’s parent handbook for more details.
