Parents' Primary Role in the Education of Children

Rockwell Charter School acknowledges that Utah’s Constitution and laws respect parents’ primary role in the education of their children.  The school, along with Utah State Board of Education (USBE), deeply appreciates the trust that parents have placed in Utah’s public education system. Rockwell considers its partnership and support of parents an essential part of the school's mission. 

As a parent in Utah, you have parent rights and data privacy rights related to your child's educational records and information. These rights are protected by federal and state laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Utah state regulations. 

Recent research has emphasized effective family engagement as a key component of school transformation and improvement efforts.  Students with highly engaged families:

• Attend school regularly
• Have stronger social skills
• Earn higher grades
• Graduate from high school
• Go on to college or other postsecondary program

A Parent Portal provided by the Utah State Board of Education outlines the basic structure of Utah’s public education system, some of the rights of parents in the direction of their children’s education, and opportunities to engage with and support schools at the state and local level. The portal is available in multiple languages, and USBE offers verbal translation services for further discussions with its staff. 

At Rockwell we employ teachers with Professional, Associate, and LEA-Specific Educator Licenses as permitted by the Utah State Board of Education.

Professional Educator License

Individuals who follow the traditional route of licensure by attending an educator preparation program (through a university or other licensing jurisdiction) and receiving a bachelor’s degree or higher, are issued a Professional Educator License through the USBE. Professional Educator Licenses are valid for five years.

Associate Educator License

Individuals who have a bachelor’s degree or higher, or who are enrolled in an educator preparation program that will result in a bachelor’s degree or higher, or who have a skill certification in a specific CTE area as established by the USBE, may be issued an Associate Educator License upon satisfaction of USBE requirements. An Associate Educator License is valid for two years with a possible one-year extension.

LEA-Specific Educator License

An individual who does not meet the criteria for a Professional or Associate Educator License but meets the criteria set forth in the Rockwell Charter School LEA-Specific Licensing policy may be issued an LEA-Specific Educator License, license area, or endorsement. An LEA-Specific license, license area, or endorsement is valid only within the Rockwell Charter High School LEA. An LEA-Specific License is valid for one, two, or three years based on the LEA approval. A license renewal requires USBE approval.
