Title 1
Bay City Academy is a Title 1 school. Title 1 is a federal program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) designed to provide financial assistance to schools with high percentages of children from low-income families. The goal is to ensure that all students meet challenging state academic standards. We at BCA have numerous programs funded through Title 1, including parent engagement, teacher development, and specific interventions used to improve student achievement.

Bridget has been in education for 25 years and focuses on literacy from kindergarten through third grade. Mary has been in education for over 30 years and also works with students in 4th through 6th grades on literacy. They provide extra assistance in small groups and one-on-one settings and offer classroom support through our Title 1 funding.
Bridget and Mary work on our building's yearly parent engagement. We host numerous events for parents and families throughout the year. Family engagement is a strong precursor to student success, and we at BCA encourage family and parent participation throughout the school year.

Picture This
Good readers form mental pictures as they read. To improve your child's comprehension, read a book to your child. Then, ask your child to guess what the illustrations may look like.
Example: How are the characters dressed? Is the setting bright or gloomy?
