Title I Academic Support Clubs

Explanation/Description:

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is a Federal legislation to improve student achievement.  Our school receives funds to conduct programs to assist our students in meeting the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards.  Hackettstown Middle School is committed to providing quality educational program to all students and through the ESSA Title I funds, we are able to provide students with additional Academic Support Instruction specifically to increase Literacy and Mathematic skills and understanding.

How are students selected?

            Exit Criteria:

Students are exited based on an analysis of multiple measures of data that include but are not limited parent refusal, lack of student participation, progress denoted in current course(s), progress denoted in current year's benchmarks, and teacher and/or team recommendation

Expectations of Students:

Students are expected to attend every club meeting date (unless previously arranged).

Students will dedicate some of the time to organizational help and ensuring that they are prepared for the academic week ahead.
