Federal law requires that schools notify parents if their child has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified.  Parents may also request information about the professional qualifications of the student’s classroom teacher including, at a minimum, the following:

(A:) Whether the student’s teacher:

• Has met state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.
• Is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria has been waived. 
• Is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher.

(B:) Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

In addition to the information that parents may request, each parent will be provided information regarding:

• Timely notice that the student has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by, a teacher who does not meet applicable state certification or licensure requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned.
• Information on the level of achievement and academic growth of the student, if applicable and available, on each of the state academic assessments required under this part.
