WS/FCS Parent’s Right to Know

In accordance with ESEA Section 1111(h)(6) PARENTS RIGHT-TO-KNOW, WS/FCS is notifying every family of a student in a Title I school that you have the right and may request information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers and/or teacher assistants.

This information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers and teachers' assistants includes, at a minimum, the following:

1. Whether the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.
2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualifications or licensing criteria have been waived.
3. The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certificate or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certificate or degree.
4. Whether the child is provided services by teacher assistants and, if so, their qualifications.

If you would like to request the qualifications of your child’s teacher and/or teacher assistant, please complete this form, Request Qualifications Form or contact the WS/FCS Title I Office at 336-748-4000.

In addition, your child’s school will notify you at any time your child has been taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks by a teacher not meeting state professional qualifications.
