Curricular Services
Title 1
Title 1 is the nation’s largest Federal Assistance Program for Schools. Title 1 provides assistance for students who must accelerate their progress to perform at or near grade level. The Title 1/Academic Support program here at Seven Generations is designed to provide students with extra help in order to bring their academic skills to the high, challenging academic standard needed to be successful in school. We currently provide Academic Support K-3 in reading. Title 1 resources are directed toward students who need the most. These services are designed to supplement students’ regular education instruction in reading. Students qualify for additional support based upon benchmark assessments as well as teacher recommendations. Academic Support services are in addition to core reading instruction.
Tutoring may take place in class or out of class. This is supplemental and your child is not missing valuable class instruction.

Technology
Seven Generations Charter School provides one to one technology to students. Technology is utilized to enhance learning through research, application, and intervention throughout curricular areas.
We are excited to provide each K-5 student a 1:1 technology device for learning!
In order to protect these learning resources and ensure availability of technology to our students, SGCS will require an annual insurance payment of $25 for each student. This annual fee will become due at the start of each new school year. Should you have multiple SGCS children in your family, you will need to pay a fee of $25 for each of your children.
In the event that your child’s device should break or get damaged, your child will have full access to a loaner device while their device is being evaluated, as long as insurance as paid. If insurance is not paid, your child is not guaranteed access to a loaner device, and Seven Gen does not assume responsibility for the cost of repairs.
