The School District of Cudahy is committed to providing high quality instruction for all students.  Each of our schools has an approved Title I Schoolwide program which is designed to generate high levels of academic achievement for all students, especially those most in need of additional support. 

One important component of our Title I Program is Family Engagement.  We recognize that parents/guardians are a child's first teacher and most influential for a child's success in school.  We are committed to continuously improving our programming to strengthen our partnership with families.  Please select a school below to visit the school's Family Engagement website and view their expectations for a successful School-Family Engagement partnership. 

We are extremely proud of the work we do to provide every student with the instruction and support needed to reach high levels of academic achievement.  We understand that we cannot meet the expectations that we hold for each student without a strong partnership with their parents, guardians, and families.  

Each year, our school works with parents to build a School-Parent Family Engagement Policy and a School-Parent Family Engagement Compact to document the expectations we have for each other in support of each child's academic achievement.  Please click on your child's school below to see the documents for that school.  We look forward to working with you, and as always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher or principal.

ESEA directs schools and districts to notify parents about the following key requirements of a Title I program.

1. Professional qualifications of teachers and paraprofessionals who instruct

2. Notification if your child's teacher is not highly qualified

3. Individual report card that lets you know how your child is progressing

4. DPI issues ESEA Accountability Reports annually. These reports explain ESSA identifications and their calculations and also compare school and student group performances to those of other schools and student groups statewide. Public ESSA and district summary reports are posted HERE.

Parents of children, who attend schools that receive Title I funding, have the right to request and receive information about the qualifications of the educators who teach their children core subjects - reading, English language arts, and mathematics. The same applies to paraprofessionals who instruct. At a minimum, the information you receive must explain these three essential components of an educator's qualifications.

1. Whether or not the teacher met state qualifications and certification requirements for the grade level and subject(s) he or she is teaching,

2. Whether or not the teacher has an emergency or conditional certificate by which state qualifications are waived.

3. What undergraduate and graduate degree(s) the teacher holds, including graduate certificates and additional degrees, and major(s) or area(s) of concentration.

Districts employ paraprofessionals to provide instructional support - consistent with the instruction provided by the classroom teacher or teachers. In schools that operate a schoolwide program, all paraprofessionals who instruct must have special qualifications. In schools that operate a targeted assistance program, the paraprofessionals who instruct students served by the Title I program must also have earned these same qualifications

1. Completed at least 2 years of study at an institution of higher education, or

2. Obtained an associate's degree or higher, or

   1. Meet a high standard of quality either through

      1. ETS ParaPro Assessment or,

      2. A paraeducator apprenticeship program approved by Wisconsin

ESEA directs schools to send timely notice to parents and guardians IF their child has been assigned to, or taught for more than four consecutive weeks by - a teacher of a core academic subject - who is not highly qualified. This could be for a variety of reasons such as the teacher has completed their coursework and has filed their application or they are in the process of obtaining the correct licensure for the course that they teach. The list of teachers with licensure or certification status who may require notification under ESEA guidelines is available here. If you have any questions, please contact the Curriculum and Instruction Department.

You have a right to know how well your child is progressing. Schools that operate Title I must generate a report card for every student that explains how well that student scored on the state assessment in, at least, English language arts and mathematics.
