Huntley School Title 1 Project
Ihe Huntley Consolidated School District ha.s received the letter from the Illinois Snuperintendent of Pub¬ lic Instruction authorizing the Title I, Public Law 9-10 reading jwoject for the current school year. The project is a continuation of the Title 1 projects of previous years, hav¬ ing a goal of insuring that all stu¬ dents achieve success in the area of reading. Tho project seeks to aid those who have met with dif¬ ficulty in the average program of instruction provided  by the school.
Funds to support this program are from a grant by the Federal Government administered through the office of Ray Page, Illinois Sup¬ erintendent of  Public   Instruction.
The Title I Project has been able to retain staff inenibers with pro¬ ject experience of previous years. Mrs. Frances Borhart, Mrs. Carolyn Schachtner, and Dan Kern, havo had a busy summer preparing for the new school year. Mrs. Borhart and Mrs. Schachtner attended a sum¬ mer workshop for reading teachers at Northern Illinois University un¬ der the direction of Dr. Frank Ba- zelli, Dr DeWayne Triplett, Dr. George Holden and Miss Jill .John¬ son, all of N.I.U. Education Depart¬ ment. Forty teachers from all over Illinois, working under Title 1 pro¬ grams, benefitted from the five-day workshop lasting from 8:.i0 a.m. co 5 p.m. each day. Many aspects of how to best help the remedial reader were presented. Ideas wen- exchanged and common problems shared. The week proved to be a most interesting and worthwhile ex¬ perience. Mr. Kern, Huntley Title I project corodinator, attended a week long workship at Western Illi¬ nois University at Macomb. Kach day"s activities began at 8 a.m. and continued until 9 p.m. A very well prepared worship staff led some very produc-tive sessions for the Title I coordinators and teachers who attended.
The Title 1 program in the Hunt¬ ley school is one example that the educatior>al community is striving to provide the children of Huntley with quality education meaningful to the needs of the students.
On October Sth it. 6th, the entire Huntley School District will be con- ductinp parent conferences. An in¬ vitation will be conducting parent conferences. An invitation will be extended by mail for a conference for each child in the disti;ict. In tho elementary school, the conferences will be conducted by the homeroom teachers. The basis of these elemen- tpry conferences will be an evalu¬ ation sheet filled out by the teacher.
In the junior high school and high School the students will be equal¬ ly divided among the teachers for purposes of conferences. At the secondary level, a checklist will be filled out by each teacher having the student in class. These check¬ lists will form the basis for confer¬ ences at the secondary level.
