Dear Parent/Guardians,
When your kids come home this afternoon and are excited to tell you that they had another fire drill at school, pat them on the back and let them know how great they did and how proud we are of them.
We did have another drill, this one was unexpected. The state requires at least once a month, this one came just a little sooner than expected. The alarm company is diligently working to prevent any future problems. As we watched all the kids and adults follow procedure, the words, "practice makes perfect", was so appropriate to describe the drill.
Thank you,
Mrs. Myers, Principal(while Mr. Brummitt is away)

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.
