  1. Elkins Pointe Middle School, Our Mission: Empowering students for tomorrow’s global society

  2. Our Vision: By embracing our diverse community, we will provide the individualized support for students to become well-rounded, successful leaders who take pride in themselves and their education.

  4. What does it mean to be Title I? The FACTS • Over 40% of the students at our school are eligible for free or reduced lunch. • In some very rare cases, students experience homelessness. • In many of these cases, students do not receive the same support at home from their parents. • Not because the parents don’t want to, but because they are often working in the evenings and may not have the money to provide technology and materials needed for homework. • We need to find resources to support these students so that they have an equal opportunity to access their education. • Title I provides us the additional funds, along with the accountability, to make that happen.
