Welcome to the Meadow Lane Elementary Title I Information Page
One of the best things about Meadow Lane is our parent engagement. Our school has an amazing PTA, but did you also know we have a Parent Engagement Coordinator? Mrs. Carrie Ocker serves our families by planning and organizing family engagement events throughout the year. She also oversees our Parent Resource Center. We have a wide array of activities and resources available to families for checkout, free of cost. To check out resources, simply reach out to your teacher or Mrs. Ocker. They will be happy to assist you in checking out educational resources for supporting your student.
You can reach Mrs. Ocker at 919-751-7150, TalkingPoints, or by email at carrieocker@wcps.org
Title I Funding
Meadow Lane is a Title I School. This means we received additional federal funding which supplements the educational program. Meadow Lane follows the "whole school model." This means that our whole school benefits from the additional funding. This often covers parent engagement resources/events, additional staffing, and educational resources. Our Title I Coordinator and Instructional Coach is Rhea Tan. You can reach Mrs. Tan at 919-751-7150, Talkingpoints, or by email at rheatan@wcps.org if you have any questions.
