Dear Parents/Guardians:
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was designed to make changes in teaching and learning that will help our students achieve more in school. The law requires that all schools receiving federal funds must inform parents of their right to ask schools about the qualifications of their child's teachers.
We believe that nothing is more important to your child's education at school than having a well-prepared and highly qualified teacher. The law requires that all teachers must meet a specific legal definition of a Highly Qualified Teacher has three parts.
1. A four-year college degree;
2. A regular teaching certificate/license; and
3. Proof of their knowledge in the subject they teach.
All our regular teachers have college degrees and many have advanced degrees. The state of New Jersey has always required a teaching certificate/license for all teachers. In addition, every teacher continues his or her own learning through professional development activities and our teachers are evaluated each year to make sure that teaching skills remain at the highest possible level.
We believe that every teacher in our school has met the definition of highly qualified as defined by NCLB. A highly qualified teacher knows what to teach, how to teach, and has a full understanding of the subject matter being taught.
We encourage you to support your child's education and communicate with his or her teacher on a regular basis. By joining forces --- families and educators --- we can provide our children with the best education possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. Anna Villafane
Chief Executive Officer

Estimado Padre/Tutor:
El Acta Educativa de Escuelas Primarias y Secundarias ha sido la ley mas importante de nuestra nación. En el año 2001, esta ley fue renombrada, Que Ningún Nino Se Quede Atrás. Que Ningún Nino Se Quede Atrás (QNNSQA) fue diseñada para efectuar cambios en el campo de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, y así ayudar a nuestros niños a triunfar en la escuela.
La ley requiere que todas las escuelas que reciben fondos federales informen a los padres sobre el derecho que ellos tienen de saber que cualificaciones poseen los maestros de sus hijos. La Academia LEAP recibe fondos federales y nos complace compartir esta información con usted.
Nosotros creemos que nada mas importante para la educación de su niño en la escuela que el tener un maestro altamente calificado. La ley requiere que para poder ensenar en las escuelas que reciben fondos federales todos los maestros cumplan con una definición legal muy específica de lo que es "altamente calificado". La definición de un maestro altamente calificado consiste en tres partes. Se establece que el maestro tiene que poseer lo siguiente:
1. Un bachillerato universitario de cuatro años;
2. Un certificado regular de maestro; y
3. Prueba de su conocimiento en el área o tema que ensena.
Los maestros de Nueva Jersey son uno de los mas calificados de nuestra nación. Nosotros estamos extremadamente orgullosos de la calidad del equipo de docente de la Academia LEAP. Todos nuestros maestros regulares tienen un bachillerato universitario y muchos tienen maestrías. El estado de Nueva Jersey siempre le ha exigido a los maestros tener un certificado o licencia de maestro. Además, cada maestro continua su educación a través de actividades de desarrollo profesional y nuestro maestros son evaluados cada ano para asegurar que sus destrezas de enseñanza se mantenga al nivel más alto posible.
Un maestro altamente calificado sabe que ensenar, como ensenarlo y posee un amplio conocimiento de la material que ensena. Nosotros creemos que cada maestro en nuestra escuela esta calificado para dar clases y dedicado a al enseñanza de su hijo. Haremos todo lo posible por ayudar a aquellos maestros que todavía no cumplieron con la definición legal requerida por el gobierno federal.
Apoye la educación que recibe su hijo en nuestra Academia y comuníquese regularmente con sus maestros.
Sinceramente,
Dr. Anna Villafane, Ph.D
Chief Executive Officer
