Dear Parent(s) and Guardians of North Country Union Junior High School,

 

In accordance with the requirements of the federal Title I law, parents of students in any school receiving Title I funds may request, and the District will provide, the following information regarding their child's teacher:  

  • Whether the student's teacher- 

    1. has met State certification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;  

    2. is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and  

    3. is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher.  

  • Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications. 

  • If a student is assigned or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by an unqualified teacher. An unqualified teacher is a teacher who does not meet applicable state certification or licensing requirements at the grade level or subject they have been assigned.

 

Requests for teacher or paraprofessional qualifications should be made in writing to the North Country Union Junior High School principal. This information may also be obtained through the State of Vermont’s Agency of Education Online Licensing System for Educators: https://alis.edlicensing.vermont.gov/ .    

 

As a Title I school, we receive funds to support the academic success of all learners. Parents shall be notified annually of the level of achievement and academic growth of their child, if applicable and available, on each of the Vermont State required academic assessments.  Information regarding school and SU state assessment data can also be found at: https://schoolsnapshot.vermont.gov/ 



Sincerely,

Brenda Waterhouse

Principal, North Country Union Junior High School
