What is Title I Parental Involvement? |
|
Title I, Part A is a federally funded program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. It is designed to support state and local school reform efforts tied to challenging state academic standards in order to reinforce and amplify efforts to improve teaching and learning for students furthest from meeting state standards.

At Buford Academy our Physical Education Department prides itself on keeping our kids healthy and active. Our students participate in a variety of fitness programs on a daily basis. Our hope is that our children will adopt regular physical activity as a part of their lifestyle. There are four main goals of modern physical education:
• to improve physical fitness,
• to shape positive attitudes towards physical activity,
• to give children the skills they need to enjoy different physical activities,
• to help them understand the importance of regular exercise and the connection between physical health and general well-being.

Character Education: Courage
"Where do you see courage, in yourself and in others? How can we help our children understand what courage looks and feels like?
Here are some tips for teaching your children about courage:
Help them see their own courage.When you see courage in your children, identify it. “It took courage to stand up for yourself like that.” “It sounds like you did the right thing even though it wasn’t easy. That is what we call courage.”
Make a family practice of connecting and contributing.
Self-reflect in the presence of your children.
Model doing what is right for you, even when it isn’t popular with your child."
