Gordon Elementary is served by a school -wide Title I Part A program that serves every student in order to enhance instruction for students according to the “Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills” guidelines. The program provides that all students have an equitable and significant chance to acquire a high-quality education.   All teachers at Gordon Elementary are “highly qualified” and meet the criteria as stated by the “No Child Left Behind Act.”

 

Kindergarten through fifth grade students come to the Title I lab for supplemental help in Reading, Math, ESL,  and spelling as well as a science component for fifth grade students.  Teachers also are able to check-out a variety of instructional materials from Title I in order to assist them with reading, math, ESL, science and social studies skills.  Many practice materials are available for support with the norm-referenced, state and district assessments.

 

The Title I program at Gordon Elementary offers parents various activities to be involved in their child’s academic life.  Family Math, Reading and Science Nights are presented throughout the school year, as well as “Test Information Nights for Parents” for both the primary and intermediate grades.  Monthly “Parent Coffee with the Principal” meetings are offered so that parents may have a chance to discuss topics of interest or to listen to a speaker that presents relative topics.

 

In addition to the Title I Part A program at Gordon Elementary, the Title III program serves the “Early Language Learners” with many opportunities for acquisition of English.  A wide array of instructional materials are provided and also opportunities for parent involvement as a result of this program.
