Title I

Every year we must measure the effectiveness of Title I instruction. Students are expected to show gains on standardized tests, mandated state assessments, and show progress in the regular classroom. Osseo Area Schools Title I students consistently show more improvement than students who do not receive Title I services. 

• What Title I services will my child receive? 

• When and where will my child receive the Title I services? 

• Who will provide that instruction? 

• How much regular classroom time will my child miss while receiving Title I services? 

• How will I be informed of my child’s progress? 

• How long will my child be in Title I? 

• What opportunities for involvement and training are available to me to support my child’s education? 

• How can I help my child?

• Do I have a home environment which will help my student be successful? 

• Do I talk with my child’s teacher on a regular basis?

Today the need for parental involvement and responsibility is greater than ever before. Parents help their children experience greater success in school by teaching their children in ways that support the teachers’ work; by learning more about their school; by supporting both their children and the school; and by making decisions about their children’s education. Schools welcome ideas for involving parents in their children’s education.

• Provide information to parents on how to help children continue their learning at home. 

• Involve parents in school decisions.

Seek out resources from the community which strengthen student learning and development.

The following schools receive federal funds for programs that are part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended (2015): Crest View Elementary, Fair Oaks Elementary, Garden City Elementary, Palmer Lake Elementary, Park Brook Elementary, and North View Middle School.


Based on current education law, teachers must have earned State certification and licensure. State certification and licensure is the training required to be a teacher.


You have the right to request information about the professional qualifications of your child’s teacher(s) or paraprofessional(s). A paraprofessional provides academic or other support for students under the direct supervision of a teacher. If you request this information, the district or school will provide you with the following as soon as possible:

1.  If the teacher has met State certification and licensing requirements for the grade levels and subjects for which the teacher provides instruction;

2. If state certification and licensing requirements have been waived (are not being required at this time) for the teacher under emergency or other temporary status;

3. If the teacher is teaching in the field of discipline for which they are certified or licensed;

4. If the teacher has met State-approved or State-recognized certification, licensing, registration, or other comparable requirements. These requirements apply to the professional discipline in which the teacher is working and may include providing English language instruction to English learners, special education or related services to students with disabilities, or both; and

5. If your child is receiving Title I or Special Education services from a paraprofessional, his or her qualifications.




Our staff is committed to helping your child develop the social, academic and critical thinking he or she needs to succeed in school and beyond. That commitment includes making sure that all of our teachers and paraprofessionals are highly skilled.


If you would like to request information about your child’s teacher(s) or paraprofessional(s), or if you have any questions about your child’s assignment to a teacher or paraprofessional, please contact the principal at your child’s school.
