Title I

Dear Sutherland Elementary Parents and Guardians, 

Sutherland is a School-wide Title I school. As a School-wide Title I school, we are able to receive additional resources, programs, staffing, and training to benefit all students. Having school-wide status helps us provide high quality reading instruction for all students to generate high levels of academic achievement. This means any student who could benefit from additional assistance using Title I resources, whether for a two-week skill group or a year-long remediation plan, will receive the support needed.

Sutherland’s Reading Team coordinates the school’s comprehensive literacy program.

Mrs. Christine Pagan, Ms. Magen Moore and Mrs. Desiree’ Roberts make up Sutherland’s Reading Team.

Parents are an integral part of Sutherland’s Title I Reading program . We encourage involvement from all families.  Please encourage your child to read to you or with you 15 minutes each evening. Practice does make better readers! We also recommend reading to your child (yes, even to those 4th and 5th graders)! Reading to your child is a great way to expand  vocabulary, model good reading, and strengthen comprehension skills! 

We are always available to answer questions and offer suggestions. Parental input at Sutherland is greatly appreciated too. Check out Sutherland’s website https://sut.dinwiddie.k12.va.us/ and complete the Title I survey under the Parent Resources Tab.

Working together we can promote a love for reading in our children!
