On behalf of the entire staff at Terrace Hills Middle School, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all our returning families and those joining us for the first time.

    • PARENTS’ RIGHT TO REQUEST TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS (TITLE I SCHOOLS) 

       

      If you child is attending a school receiving Title 1 federal funds, Federal Law requires that parents be notified of their right to know the professional qualifications  of their child’s teacher(s) in core academic subject areas, including the following:  

      1.  The type of state credential or license that the teacher holds. Some teachers will have credentials in a particular subject area, such as English or  mathematics, and others will have a multiple subject credential, which allows them to teach a variety of subjects, such as in elementary schools. 

      2.The education level and subject area of the teacher’s college degree(s). All teachers have a bachelor’s degree, and many teachers have graduate 

                      degrees beyond the bachelor’s, such as a masters or doctoral degree. 

      In addition to the qualifications of the teacher, if a paraprofessional (teacher’s aide) provides your child services, you may also request information about his or  her qualifications. Many paraprofessionals have two years of college and others have passed a test that verifies their qualifications. 

      If you would like to request this information, please contact Colton Joint Unified, Human Resources Office at (909)580-5000 Ext. 6684

    • DERECHO DE LOS PADRES A SOLICITAR LAS CUALIFICACIONES DEL MAESTRO (ESCUELAS DE TÍTULO I) 

      Si su hijo/a asiste a una escuela que recibe fondos federales del Título I, la Ley Federal establece que los padres deben ser notificados de su derecho a conocer las cualificaciones profesionales de los maestros de su hijo/a en las materias básicas, incluyendo las siguientes:   

       

      1. El tipo de credencial o licencia estatal que el maestro posee. Algunos maestros tendrán credenciales en una materia en particular, como inglés o matemáticas, otros tendrán una credencial de materias múltiples, lo que les permite enseñar una variedad de materias, como en las escuelas primarias.  

       

      1. El nivel de educación y materia de la que el maestro obtuvo su título universitario. Todos los maestros tienen una licenciatura y muchos maestros tienen títulos de posgrados, como maestrías o doctorados.  

       

      Además de las cualificaciones del maestro, si un para-profesional (auxiliar docente) proporciona servicios a su hijo/a, también puede solicitar información sobre sus cualificaciones. Muchos para-profesionales tienen dos años de universidad y otros han pasado una evaluación que avala sus cualificaciones.

       

      Si desea solicitar esta información, por favor comuníquese con la oficina de Recursos Humanos del Distrito escolar unificado de Colton al (909)580-5000 Ext. 6684.
