Parent Right to Know
Each year, as required by law, schools that receive Title I funds must notify parents/guardians that they may request information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s teachers. This information will be provided by the school in a timely manner. At a minimum this includes the following:
- whether the teacher meets the New Hampshire requirements for the grade level(s) and subject areas taught
- whether the teacher is teaching under emergency status and the Department of Education has temporarily waived their certification requirement
- the teacher’s degrees and any other graduate certifications held by the teacher and the field of discipline of the certification or degree
- whether the child is provided services by a paraprofessional and, if so, their qualifications
Each Title I school must also provide parents with the following information:
- the level of achievement their child has achieved on all state assessments
- timely notice if a child has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not qualified
All information provided to parents/guardians must be clearly written and provided in a language the parent is able to understand. Please contact your school principal or Linda Perrow, grant writer/project manager, at 603.569.0221 if you have any questions regarding your Right to Know or if you would like to request information.
