We are pleased to announce that the Rocky River City School
District has been awarded Title I funds for the 2009-2010 school year. Students who qualify at
Goldwood will receive supplemental reading intervention services. If your child
is selected to participate in this program, you will be given notification
soon.
All
parents/guardians of students attending our Title I building have the
right to know about the teaching qualifications of their child’s classroom
teacher. The federal law, No Child Left Behind, requires school districts
receiving Title I funds to inform parents of this right to inquire about the
qualifications of their child’s classroom teacher.
These qualifications
include:
-
Whether the teacher has met the Ohio teacher licensing
criteria for the grade level and subject areas in which the teacher provides
your child’s instruction – please be assured that all Goldwood staff members have
met/exceeded the Ohio teacher licensing criteria.
-
Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary
status that waives state licensing requirements – no Goldwood staff member is
teaching under these circumstances.
-
The undergraduate degree major of the teacher and any other
graduate degree or certification held by the teacher and the field of
discipline of certification or degree – all of our teachers are highly
qualified to teach their elementary assignments.
- Whether your child is provided services by instructional
paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications – none of the children in
the Title I program will be given instruction by paraprofessionals unless they
also have an I.E.P. with those specifications.
If you would like to inquire about any of the noted
information,
please call Ms. Norman at 356-6720.
