Title I/LAP
Title I is a federally funded program established by the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 and authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) is a state funded program established by the Washington state legislature in 1979.
The Enumclaw School District uses Title I/LAP funds to assist elementary students who are at risk of not meeting the state's performance standards in reading. The object of both programs is to accelerate the achievement of students performing below grade level by providing supplemental support.
Students in the Enumclaw School District are identified for Title I/LAP services based on state and district assessment scores. The services offered are in addition to the reading curriculum provided to all students. Eligible students may receive support during the school day, before or after school, or in summer school.
Our Title I/LAP programs encourage families to be involved in their child's education. Research shows that academic achievement improves significantly when parents are involved in school and at home. Families are invited to be involved in the following ways:
- Attend Parent/Teacher Conferences
- Assist your child with schoolwork at home
- Participate in school and district parent events
- Volunteer in your child's classroom or school
- Engage your child in conversation about what they are learning
- Read to and with your child
- Communicate with your child's teacher, Title I/LAP teacher and school staff when you have questions or concerns
