Dear Parent/Guardian,

Each year, parents of students in Title I schools have the right to know about the professional qualifications of their child’s teachers.

You may ask:

  • If your child’s teacher is licensed or certified in the grade and subject they are teaching.

  • If the teacher is working under an emergency or provisional license.

  • If the teacher is teaching in their certified field.

  • If your child receives help from paraprofessionals, and what their qualifications are.

If you would like this information, please contact:

Darlene Griffiths, Superintendent
Phone:  785-349-2964
Email: 
dgriffiths@usd481.com

We value your partnership and are committed to providing your child with the best education possible.

Sincerely,

Darlene Griffiths

Superintendent of USD 481
