Dear Parents:

As a parent of a student attending a school that is receiving Federal Title I dollars, you have the right to know if your child is assigned to or taught for four (4) or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who does not hold the appropriate state certification.

Presently, your child is being taught by a teacher who is not appropriately state certified. This includes teachers holding a State Emergency Certification, taking the required credits toward his/her permanent certificate to make him or her "Appropriately State Certified" as required by the Every Student Succeeds Act.

A professional development plan is currently being implemented with his/her teacher. In the meantime, we will be closely monitoring the delivery of the educational services to your child, in order to ensure a quality education from the teacher assigned to his/her class.

 

Sincerely,

Amity Smith
Principal
