The school district must establish multiple, educationally related, objective criteria to determine eligibility. Selection criteria may be based on several of the following assessments:

• Acadience Reading

• DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment)

• PSSA (Pennsylvania State System of Assessment)

• District's reading assessments

• Teacher Recommendations

• Acadience Math

• PSSA (Pennsylvania State System of Assessment)

• District Math Assessments

• Teacher Recommendation

The Home-School Compact details an agreement between the teacher, student, and parents/caregivers describing the roles and responsibilities of each person. The Home-School Compact is sent each year that the student qualifies for the Title I program.

The School District of Upper Moreland invites families to become actively involved in the Title I program. The plan was jointly developed between faculty, administrators, and families and is reviewed and revised annually.
