2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived;
3. The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree; and
4. Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualification.

School and Parent Compact

In order to promote student achievement:

As a school, we will:

• Encourage and welcome parents into the classroom for planned activities.
• Help keep your child safe by having all parents and visitors sign in at the office for an identification tag.
• Communicate with parents, as needed, to keep them informed of their child’s progress.
• Prepare carefully so your child receives quality instruction each day.
• Encourage your child’s natural curiosity in all areas of learning.
• Respect your child’s opinion each day and try to listen carefully to him/her.
• Seek the help of others to meet your child’s needs.
• Notify parents of special circumstances within the school environment that are affecting the child’s learning/behavior.

As a parent, I will:

• Read and discuss the student handbook with my child.
• Expect my child to be respectful and work hard in school.
• Establish regular routines for homework and bedtime.
• Monitor the amount of TV my child watches, their use of electronic devices, and encourage physical activity.
• Get to know my child’s teacher(s) early in the year.
• Encourage my child’s interest in learning, especially through reading.
• Keep the school informed of unusual circumstances that may affect my child’s learning/behavior in school.
• Ensure my child’s attendance at school.
• Send a written explanation for any absences the day(s) my child returns to school.

As a student, I will do my best to:

• Actively participate in class.

• Follow all school rules.
• Respect others’ feelings, property, and opinions.
• Understand I may seek the help of others.
