This information regarding the professional qualifications of your student's classroom teachers shall include the following:

  • If the teacher has met state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade level and subject areas taught;

  • If the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary status in which West Virginia qualifications and licensing criteria are waived;

  • The teacher's baccalaureate degree major, graduate certification, field of discipline; and

  • Whether the student is provided services by a paraprofessional, and if so, their qualifications.

If at any time your student has been taught for four (4) or more consecutive weeks by a teacher that is not highly qualified, you will be notified by the school of this information. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school principal.
