Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
In the Hancock County School District, we are very proud of our teachers! We
know that they are ready for the 2016-2017 school year and are prepared to help
your child do their best in school. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act
of 1965 (ESEA) requires that all schools notify parents of their children’s
teachers qualifications. Thus, M.E. Lewis Elementary School, Hancock Central
Middle School, and Hancock Central High School notify parents of every child’s
teacher and/or paraprofessional, upon request.
It is your right to request the following information about your child’s teachers’
training and credentials:

Whether the teacher met the state requirements from the Georgia
Professional Standards Commission for certification for the grade level
and subject area which they teach;

Whether the teacher is teaching under an emergency or other
temporary status through which Georgia qualifications or certification
criteria have been waived;

What undergraduate or graduate degree(s) the teacher holds,
including graduate certificates and additional degrees, and major(s) or
area(s) of concentration; and

Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals, and if so,
their qualifications.
