Title 1
Hello, and welcome to our Title 1 home page. It is my desire that this site is useful in providing you with information about Title 1 and how we operate our program in Fergus Falls.
Title 1 has been serving the needs of children since 1965. We currently operate with 3 certified teachers and 6 paraprofessionals. We serve children in grades K-4 in our three public elementary schools, McKinley, Adams, and Cleveland, along with two non-public schools, Hillcrest Lower School Campus (formerly Morning Son Christian School) and Our Lady of Victory.
We are proud of our role in the elementary schools, helping children with the skills they need to be successful in reading and math. If you would like to know more, please contact me at 218-998-0544 x9318 or email me at jmolstre@fergusotters.org.
Thank you for visiting!
Jessica Molstre, Title 1 Coordinator
