Mrs. Maggie King
The Title I Social Worker provides support for students and families who need assistance. The Title I Social Worker sees students on an individual or group basis to deal with any social- emotional concerns. Depression, family issues, addictions, grief, anger management, anxiety, and adjustment issues are some of the topics that the social worker addresses in these sessions. The goal for students is to learn positive coping skills that will help students manage their daily lives, which will empower them to become better students. The Title I Social Worker also connects families to community resources as needed and responds to family and student emergencies. The Title I social worker implements student and family engagement events throughout the school year.
Mr. Andrew Wulbecker

Title I Teacher Assistants
Title I teacher assistants in the Math and English Department are utilized in the tutoring centers and classrooms. In the Reading Tutoring Center (R.T.C.), tutors specifically provide the Reading Plus program, a web-based, reading intervention system, to Title I students. This program is designed to help students accelerate reading skills to eventually read at a college-ready level. Additionally, the R.T.C. provides a supportive environment in which students may complete homework, study for tests, and receive literacy support across the curriculum. Classroom teacher assistants (T.A.’s) support students in all targeted courses. T.A.’s allow for differentiated instruction by providing small group and individual reinforcement. They also emphasize reading comprehension strategies, writing skills, and organizational methods to ensure the overall academic success of Title I students.
