Title I LAP

Title I is a federally funded program for students struggling in basic skills such as reading. Title I Part A is one of the many programs governed by ESA. The level of funding received from the federal government determines the schools with Title I programs, and each site determines the skill areas to address for students. We have Targeted Assistance models in our schools, which means that just those who meet specific criteria are provided extra support through small group instruction, individual help, or specialized instruction. 

Learning Assistance Program (LAP) is a state funded program for students struggling in basic skills such as reading. For 11th and 12th graders, LAP can provide support for students at risk of not graduating. The level of funding received from the state determines the schools with LAP programs, and each site determines the skill areas to address for students.

Our elementary WIN Reading programs use a balanced and comprehensive guided reading instructional approach that provides explicit instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension, oral language skills, and writing. Literacy Footprints, 95% Phonics Lesson Library, Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) and Wilson Fundations are the primary, intervention curriculums used to meet the reading needs of our most struggling readers, including those who display characteristics of dyslexia. Qualifying students receive this supplementary, small-group literacy instruction 30 minutes per day, Monday-Friday. Progress is monitored through the use of the Acadience Reading, our SVSD normed referenced assessment.

Right to review teacher qualifications:  As a parent of a Title I student in the Snoqualmie Valley School District, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct your child. Federal law allows you to ask for certain information about your child’s classroom teachers and requires us to give you this information in a timely manner if you ask for it. Specifically, you have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:

• Whether the state’s Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grades and subjects he or she teaches.
• Whether OSPI has decided that the teacher can teach in a classroom without being licensed or qualified under state regulations because of special circumstances.
• The teacher’s college major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the subject of the degrees.
• Whether any instructional assistants provide instructional services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications.

If you would like to receive any of this information, please call SVSD Human Resources, 425-831-8000.
