Parent/Guardian Notification That You May Request HQT Information
Dear Parent/Guardian:
I am sending you this information as one way to fulfill our obligations under the “Parents’ Right to Know” requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Under these requirements, teachers must meet general qualifications as well as the specific requirements of the subject they are teaching. This means a teacher must be “Highly Qualified” under the federal legislation. I am required to send this notice to all parents/guardians in Title I-A schools throughout the district.
All of our teachers are currently entitled to teach under Maine’s strict certification requirements. They all have college degrees and many have advanced degrees. In addition, every teacher continues his or her own learning through professional development activities.
Most teachers have already met the federal definition of “Highly Qualified”. Those teachers who do not meet this federal standard will be able to do so by taking coursework or by passing a test.
Additional information on the NCLB Act and/or on the qualifications of your child’s teacher are available on request. Please contact me at (207) 475-1335 if you have questions or would like further information.
Sincerely,
Marilyn P. Woodside
Curriculum Director
Kittery School Department
