November Notes
Happy November! It is hard to believe that first quarter is over, and we are quickly approaching Thanksgiving.
It
has been a very busy and eventful first quarter. I am truly thankful
and amazed at the journey I have been on the past two months. I had
major surgery on August 29th and returned to OES five and half weeks
later on a full-time basis. I have been truly touched and blessed by the
outpouring of well-wishing from staff, students and families. I
received 430 cards from our student, making me smile on each and
every-one of them.
I missed being at school and am so glad to be
back. I do want to thank staff for taking care of all things at OES in my
absence. It is not easy assuming additional duties as each person had
their own jobs to do.
I want to wish you all a wonderful fall
and Thanksgiving season. We all do have much to be thankful for and I
for one will do my best not to take them for granted.
With a grateful heart
Mr. Brummitt
As a parent of a student at Olathe Elementary School you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teacher who instructs your child. This is a requirement for all districts that receive Title I funds. Federal law allows you to request certain information about your student’s classroom teacher. The law also requires the district to give you this information in a timely manner upon request. Listed below is the information about which you have the right to ask for regarding each of your student’s classroom teachers. • Whether the Colorado Department of Education has licensed or endorsed your student’s teacher for the grades and subjects taught.
• Whether CDE has decided that your student’s teacher can teach in a classroom without being licensed or qualified under state regulations because of special circumstances.
• The teacher’s college major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and, if so, the subject of the degrees.
• Whether any teachers’ aides or similar paraeducators provide services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications.
