Dear  Parents/Guardians of Students Participating in Title I Classes: 
        Parents/Guardians of Students Eligible for Title I Classes:

The Title I program exists at East Hickman Elementary School and East Hickman Intermediate Schools to provide supplemental instruction in the areas of Reading and Math. The program has been designed to help the school meet the State of Tennessee's high standard for schools. That standard is defined as an increase in the mean performance level of 0.05 or greater in the areas of Reading and Math as measured by the 2000 TerraNova achievement test. If that standard is not met, a local standard of preponderance of evidence may be utilized to show gains have been made.

The Federal government requires the school system to inform parents regarding the progress the school is making in meeting the standard.

For the 1999-2000 school year, East Hickman Elementary (at that time Grades 1-4) achieved the following:

Reading - met the State Standard;

Math - met the Local criteria of preponderance of evidence.

If you need additional information, please contact the director of the program, Dr. Jerry Nash, at 729-3391 Extension 4.

The Title I Program of the Hickman County School System does not discriminate in its educational programs, activities, or employment practices on the basis of race, sex, national origin, religion, creed, age, martial status, or disability as required by Title V1 of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1 972, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All necessary accommodations are made for equitable participation by constituents.
