Wyoming Area’s annual Title I parent meeting was held in December at the Wyoming Area Kindergarten Center, Exeter.
The annual meeting focused on how parents can help improve their child’s academic success by being involved with their child’s education and communicating with the Title I staff.
Guest speakers for the meeting were Title I parents who attended the Pennsylvania State Parent Advisory Council (SPAC) conference last summer with their children at Seven Springs Resort in Champion.
These parents shared their experiences and educational information obtained from the conference on how parents can improve their academic skills. Their message was to inspire other parents in attendance to consider attending this Title I State Parent Conference, which is held every summer.
Parens in attendance also had the opportunity to hear information regarding the district’s Title I Reading program from Mrs. Rita Mauriello, Title I coordinator. The district’s Title I parents policies for the district and elementary school buildings were reviewed for parent input which is required yearly by Title I guidelines. Title I reading specialists were also in attendance for parents to conferee with.
Parent packets were distributed containing Title I forms and policies, SPAC information concerning 2020 state parent conference and reading handouts with reading suggestions for parents on how to help their child with reading at home along with a Dr. Seuss bag containing children’s books. Door prizes consisting of children’s books and plants were also awarded.
The meeting was very informative for parents concerning the reading success of their child enrolled int the district’s Title I reading program.
Paren leadership certificates from the Title I State Parent Advisory Council were presented to each of the parents who attended the conference last summer.
