This letter is to inform you that the following schools in the Caesar Rodney School District are participating Title I schools; W. Reily Brown, Allan Frear, McIlvaine, Nellie Stokes, Star Hill, David E. Robinson, and W.B. Simpson. Title I is a federal program that helps support schools who have high percentages of children from low income families. This program helps to ensure that all children have access to and strive to meet challenging academic standards within their participating school. We are very proud of the programs and opportunities that our students have within these schools to help with their.

The Caesar Rodney School District will continue to include opportunities each year to help our students that are supported by Title I funding and overall program requirements. Additionally, parents and guardians are always welcome to provide input with their child’s teacher, school administrators and/or the District Office Title I Coordinator regarding ideas to support the school and their child’s education.

As a Title I school, there are also important pieces of information to continue to share with our Parents / Guardians:
