Right to Request Teacher Qualifications
As a parent of a student in the Riverton Elementary School, you
have the right to know the professional qualifications of the
classroom teachers who instruct your child.
No Child Left Behind federal law allows you to ask for certain information about your child’s classroom teachers, and requires us to give you this information in a timely manner if you ask for it. Specifically, you have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:
Whether the
teacher has met the State qualification and licensing criteria for
the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides
instruction;
Whether the teacher
is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through
which the State qualification or licensing criteria have been
waived;
The baccalaureate
degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or
degree held by the teacher, and the filed of discipline of the
certification or degree; and
Whether the child is
provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their
qualifications.
If you would like to receive additional information about any
teachers or paraprofessional aides who work with your child, please
contact Chad Harper or Keith Wilson.
Our district is fully committed to the success of your child. We appreciate your partnership in our effort.
