This is an email the teachers got my high school today from
an administrator. We are perturbed, but maybe we don't know
enough.

We are required to have some form of documentation that we
have made contact with a parent as part of the RTI process.
The three different areas of RTI are academic, behavior and
attendance. Our current RTI team handles the documentation
on attendance and discipline of our students. For the
academic students it is required that each parent of a
student who has failed be contacted and notified of their
students progress and made aware that their student is in
danger of failing. For every student that has failed your
class there needs to be some form of documentation that
contact has been made with the parent by the teacher. The
forms of contacts that are acceptable are as follows:

1). Parent-teacher conference;
2). Conference phone call with parent;
3). A written document sent home that states the
students performance in your class, their current grade,
your concerns and a statement that offers the parent a
conference and the best time to contact you (ex. If you
would like to further discuss the academic
problem/performance that your son/daughter __________ is
having in my class please feel free to notify the
school of your wishes and a meeting will be set promptly).

If you send a letter and the student does not improve by the
end of the next grading period, RTI mandates a face to face
conference with student and parent.

After you have contacted all parents of the students that
failed your classes please turn in a class list with grade
and a copy of the parent contact.

Thank you
