No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) Parental notifications

Pursuant to the federal No Child Left Behind Act, parents may re-quest information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teachers and teaching assistants including: Whether state requirements and

licensing criteria have been met for the grade level and subject area being taught.

If the teacher is working under emergency or other provisional status under which state qualification and licensing criteria have been waived.

The teacher’s college major and subsequent advanced degrees.

Qualifications of any teaching assistants providing services to your child.

If an uncertified teacher will be working in a classroom for four or more weeks.

Requests for the above informa-tion may be directed to the School Superintendent, BKW Central School District, 1738 Helderberg Trail, Berne, NY 12023.

Release of information to military recruiters

NCLB requires that school districts disclose to military recruiters and institu-tions of higher learning, upon request, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of our high school students.

However, parents or students may request, in writing, that the district NOT release such information. Parents, or students who are at least 18 years old, may exercise the option to withhold their consent to release this information by contacting the high school principal’s office.

Access to student recordsUnder the Family Educational Rights and

Privacy Act (FERPA), parents and students over 18 years of age have the right to inspect and review the student‘s records or request an amendment of records believed to be incorrect. They can also withhold consent on disclosure of person-ally identifiable information, except in cases where the law allows for disclosure without consent.

Student Directory informationThe district releases certain types of

student information (name, address, phone number, photo, etc.). Under FERPA, parents may request in writing to not release that information.

Student PrivacyThe district’s privacy policy offers par-

ents the opportunity to excuse their child from any survey that reveals information on personal behavior or political beliefs. Parents are also notified and offered the chance to exclude their child from activities that gather personal information about students which can be used for marketing purposes.

Special needsChildren with special needs may be

entitled to additional services from the school district in which they reside. If your child has special needs and is not known to the school administration, please call the District Office.

New York State Education Law also requires that each public school district account for the education of all resident minors. Please help BKW comply with this requirement. If your child is home-schooled or attends a private or parochial school and has not previously been registered with the District Office, please call 872-1293.

Asbestos Management PlanIn accordance with federal law, the

Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District has in place a management plan to identify and manage asbestos building materials.

Legal Notices The Asbestos Management Plan is on file and available for review in the District Office during regular business hours.

Pesticide notificationIt is mandatory for school districts to

inform parents or guardians and staff members of potential pesticide use during the school year.

To be placed on a list to receive 48-hour notification prior to the application of pesticides, please call the District Office.

Student Health DataBecause New York State is interested in

child health data, schools are required to record students’ height, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI). If our district is surveyed by the state, we will only share group data (for instance, the number of second grade boys whose BMI is below the fifth percentile), not individual data. However, if parents wish their child’s data to be excluded from such group calcula-tions, they may do so by contacting their school nurse.

APPR RatingsAll parents/guardians will have the right

to obtain APPR ratings and composite effec-tiveness scores for their child’s teacher(s) and principal(s) once the scores are available in accordance with state law. For additional details, please visit the district website or contact your child’s school.

District required to hold 12 safety drills per year

All New York school districts are required to par-ticipate in 12 safety drills every school year. Four of those drills must now be lockdown drills. The remaining eight drills are evacua-tion drills – widely referred to as fire drills.

During a lockdown drill, students and staff practice clear-ing hallways, locking doors and taking positions out of sight as quickly as possible.

Evacuation drills ensure students and staff exit a build-ing as quickly as possible and in an organized fashion in the event of a sud-den emergency.

Summer Reading

Summer is the perfect time for children to engage in leisure reading. BKW students should continue their education on their own by reading as many books as possible during the summer.

Students in grades 6-12 are required to read at least two assigned books, but they should try to read more for enjoyment.

Summer Reading lists

Our assigned reading lists are available at www.bkwschools.org or in our main offices.
