Marion Oaks Elementary is a Title I school based on our economically disadvantaged student population. Title I funds are used to give support to our low performing students to help them realize success in core curriculum areas. Most Title I dollars are spent on personnel that work directly with students (mainly the teaching of writing and with assistance with struggling readers). Family events, parent trainings, staff development and software licenses are also purchased with Title I money. Title I money is also used for after school tutoring programs, offered to students struggling in academics in grades 3-5. 

Our student handbook is made available to every child who enters our school. Title I encourages all parents to be involved in the planning and review of the school’s programs that increase student achievement, to participate in school activities, to be actively involved in the education of their child, and to assist the school in reviewing and revising the School Improvement Plan. Therefore, we suggest that students and parents read it together. Compliance with this handbook will help foster full potential of learning enhanced with positive relationships.

Copies of the 2012-2013 District Parent Involvement Plan are available at the school's main office, at the Title 1 office and on the district website. You may also visit the following link http://www.marion.k12.fl.us/dept/fep/extra/file/TitleIPlan.pdf to view the plan.
