Parent Involvement
Harrison School District Two's Title I program believes that all children can learn and acknowledges that parents share the school's dedication to education success for all students. We recognize that a student's educatio is a responsibility shared by school, family, and community. To view the Title I District Parent Involvement Policy click here.
Parents Right to Know
As a parent in a Title I school, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teacher who instructs your child(ren), including:
- Whether the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) has licensed or endorsed your student's teacher for the grades and subjects being taught
- Whether CDE has decided you 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 the subject(s) of the degrees
- Whether any teacher's aide or similar paraprofessional provides services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications.
Additionally, if a student in a Title I school is being instructed--for longer than four consecutive weeks--by a teacher/substitute who does not fulfill the "highly qualified" requirements as set forth by NCLB, a letter informing the student's parents of this information must be sent in a timely manner.
Title I Parent Resource Center:
Title I operates a District Parent Resource Center, located at 610 Brookshire Ave (behind Stratton Meadows Elementary School - MAP). The Title I Parent Resource Center provides various activities, materials, and opportunities to teach parents how to work more effectively with their children at home. To enhance learning, videos, cassette tapes, books, puzzles, brochures, computers, games, professional books, and manipulatives for developing reading and/or math skills are available for checkout. Parents may also use equipment and supplies to contruct learning activities to be used at home. If you need assistance, please call 719-579-2301.
Each Title I school also has their own Parent Resource Center. Please contact the school for additional information.
