Title One Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School has developed a procedure for identifying students who may require additional academic supports in order to meet the state’s challenging academic achievement standards. Title 1 is the name of the federal education program which aims to provide extra help and instruction for students. CCLCS is considered a targeted assistance school in which students are identified through formal and informal assessments as needing additional supports to achieve grade level standards. Students identified receive targeted intervention in reading, writing, and/or mathematics at school. Title 1 teachers go into the classrooms and provide instruction and assistance to small groups of students. Students may also be pulled out of the classroom during Intervention/tutorial blocks for further instruction targeted to specific math and reading/written language skills. At all times, Title 1 teachers and regular classroom teachers work together for the benefit of their students. We believe that parents and guardians play a crucial role in their child's education. As a Title I targeted assistance school, we are committed to providing opportunities for you to be actively involved in your child's learning. Families may provide input on the Title 1 / Intervention program through several avenues including parent/teacher conferences with the Intervention teacher, as well as classroom teachers and through family events such as open houses and evening events. Families may also submit any feedback and input in writing at any time, and are welcome to schedule a meeting with the Director Of Student Services for further information. In addition, parent surveys are conducted in the spring of each year. These surveys/needs assessments and program evaluation forms are used to evaluate the Title 1 program and inform future interventions and use of resources in Title 1.

Anti-Racism Resolution This resolution was created by the Mass Association of School Committee Board of Directors, and was adopted by the CCLCS Board of Trustees at its meeting on January 25, 2021. RESOLUTION 3: SCHOOL COMMITTEE ANTI-RACISM RESOLUTION (Submitted by the MASC Board of Directors) WHEREAS as schools have the responsibility to equip students with their civil right of obtaining a free and appropriate public education, it is the responsibility of each school to ensure we create a welcoming community for ALL students; and WHEREAS it is the responsibility that every district provide to all district staff, including School Committee members, annual professional development on diversity, equity and inclusion; and WHEREAS every district will commit to recruiting and retaining a diverse and culturally responsive teaching workforce; and WHEREAS every district will examine their policies for institutional and systemic racialized practices and implement change with sustainable policies that are evidence based; and WHEREAS every district will incorporate into their curriculum the history of racial oppression and works by black authors and works from diverse perspectives; and WHEREAS we as school district leaders can no longer remain silent to the issues of racism and hate that continue to plague our public and private institutions; RESOLVED: that Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School and all the school districts in the Commonwealth must guarantee that racist practices are eradicated, and diversity, equity and inclusion is embedded and practiced for our students, families, faculty and staff. We must ensure our own school culture and that of every district in the Commonwealth is anti racist, that acknowledges that all lives cannot matter until black lives matter.

Alcohol Awareness Assembly Assembly Information Parent Information Packet On Tuesday, February 7, 2017, our 7th & 8th grade students attended a program about alcohol and other drug abuse prevention presented by the Improbable Players, a theater company of young professional actors who are in long-term recovery. “I’ll Never Do That!” has been welcomed in schools for over 32 years. It was a light-hearted play with a spectrum of scenes that explore stereotypes and issues about substance abuse and depicts a family and how they deal with drinking in their family. After the performance, the actors share their own stories and engage in a question/answer session with the audience. Students are encouraged to talk among themselves and with you, about the issues raised. The school counselor will announce resources available in the community. What you can do to follow-up with your child You can play an active role in supporting your children through these years when they or their friends may be experimenting with substances. We would encourage you to use this program as an opportunity to have a conversation about alcohol and drug use in our community. Think about a few issues you may want to discuss regarding alcohol and drug use. For example, you might: Ask about their impressions of the program. Listen to what your child has to say and try to follow his/her lead. What did they find interesting about the presentation? What did they find troubling or surprising? (Often students are most interested in the life experiences of the actors.) Ask them if the program felt relevant to them, given their own experiences. Take time to discuss your family’s values and rules about drinking and drugs. Does your child know where you stand on these issues, and why? Discuss the legal and school consequences of underage alcohol use and of drug use. School-based consequences are outlined in the school’s alcohol and drug policy. If needed, remind your child that there are local resources in addition to those on the list provided (if provided). Encourage them to contact a guidance counselor, the school adjustment counselor or psychologist, a teacher, a coach, a relative or a religious organization. From www.underagedrinking.samhsa.gov : “Real kids are curious about alcohol. 40% have tried it by the time they reach 8th grade. Talking to your children early and often can make a difference.” More information about Improbable Players, their plays and workshops can be found at this website www.improbableplayers.org
