The teachers and staff are excited about providing you with another year full of excitement and learning.  We welcome you to visit our school any time to talk about your child and his or her progress during the year.  You may have heard us talk a number of times about the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 in our school and district.  One of the key provisions of that federal plan is to make sure our schools have the most highly qualified teachers in the classroom that we can possibly have.  We believe we are working hard to do just that!  In fact, should you wish to receive information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers, NCLB allows you to ask and our school to provide the following: 

*Whether the teacher has met state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subjects taught;

*Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional license or whether licensing criteria have been waived;

*The teacher’s degree major and any other graduate certification or degree held; and

*Whether the child is provided services by a paraprofessional, and if so their qualifications.    

If you would like to receive any of this information, please feel free to submit your request to me in writing and I will gladly follow up with you.  If you have any questions about No Child Left Behind and it’s impact on our school, don’t hesitate to contact me at 973-3150.

 

Thank you for all you do to support your child’s education,
