Title I Tip of the Month

Timely expenditure of your Parent Engagement funds is important! Funds are meant to help parents in the year they are awarded, so it is important not to wait until the last moment! What can you do?

? Parent workshops or materials on various topics

? Choose themes that school's special circumstances (bullying, homework help, transitioning to a new grade, testing stress, home routines, etc...)

? Parent Room Furniture or Equipment--if your school has a dedicated room for parents, does it need furniture? A storage cabinet? A dedicated copier? A co ee maker?

? O ce Supplies--paper, pens, clips that are for parent activities only! Remember that funds are only for parent use!

REMINDER: The CPS budget is always frozen for maintenance in late May, so work with your school clerk and plan your activities and submit your purchase orders now!

Need assistance? Contact your FACE Manager or contact the Title I District Manager at: Title1supports@cps.edu or (773) 255-9623.
