No Child Left Behind

Under the federal education law, commonly known as No Child Left Behind, parents have a right to know the professional qualifications of their children’s teacher(s). It is the right of a parent to ask for the following information about each of their children’s classroom teachers: Whether the State of Iowa has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grades and subjects he or she teaches. Whether the teacher is teaching under an emergency or provisional status for which the State of Iowa licensing criteria have been waived.
The teacher’s college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the subject of the degrees. If you would like to receive the information regarding your child’s teacher, please contact the Office of Human Resources at the Educational Services Center at 515-268-6612. The Ames Community School District is committed to the success of your child and we appreciate your partnership in our efforts.
