ATS is a targeted assistance school which means the programs are only for a select group of students who are identified as either not meeting or are at risk of not meeting NJSLS in math and language arts. Title 1 students are the only students who can participate in Title 1 funded programs and activities.

Title 1 OVerview Title 1 programs provide targeted assistance to students so that they have fair, equal, and significant opportunities to meet the State’s standards in math and language arts. ATS has capacity in the 8 period schedule to provide elementary students with daily ‘“Tiger Time” for supplemental instruction in math and/or language arts during the school day.
