Dear Slate Ridge Families,

We had a fantastic Trunk or Treat event this week—thank you to all who joined us! We also celebrated our second RISE assembly, recognizing our students' successes and commitment to our values.

Next Thursday, November 7th, our 5th graders are heading to COSI for an exciting field trip. If you have any questions, please reach out to your student’s teacher.

Please remember that there is no school for students on November 5th, Tuesday.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Dr. Parlar

You have the right to know about the teaching qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher in a school receiving Title I funds. The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that any school district receiving Title I funds must notify parents of each student attending any school receiving Title I funds that they may request, and the district will provide the parents on request (and in a timely manner), information regarding the professional qualifications of the student’s classroom teachers, including at a minimum, the following:

1. Whether the teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;

2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and

3. Whether the teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher;

4. Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

In addition, parents of participating children will be provided:

1. Information on the level of achievement of their child(ren) on the required State academic assessments; and

2. Timely notice that the parent's child 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. Currently all elementary schools in Reynoldsburg City Schools have schoolwide Title I programs.

You may ask for this information by emailing the Reynoldsburg City Schools Director of Compliance at brittany.griffin@reyn.org

Our Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS) program is central to fostering a positive and safe environment for our students. We emphasize consistent language between staff and families to support student growth. This November, our focus is on citizenship, with students practicing what it means to be responsible, respectful members of our community. They will develop this trait with the support of their peers, teachers, our School Counselor, and Social Worker. If you have any questions or want to learn more, please reach out to your student's teacher.
