Highly Qualified Staff
At Ogden Preparatory Academy we are very proud of our teachers and feel they are prepared to give your child a high-quality education. As a Title I school, we must meet federal rules related to teacher qualifications as defined in No Child Left Behind. These rules allow you to learn more about your child's teachers' training and credentials. We are happy to provide this information to you. At any time, you may ask about your child's teachers' or paraprofessionals' qualifications and degrees. Our staff is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he/she needs to succeed in school and beyond. That commitment includes making sure that all of our teachers and paraprofessionals are highly skilled. If you have any questions about your child's assignment to a teacher or paraprofessional, please contact the principal of your child's school:

Title III
Alternative Language Services include supplementation instruction in oral, reading, and writing skills in English proficiency provided by a highly qualified teacher in English language development.
Some benefits of participation in this program include:
- Improved English language skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking for all subject areas.
- Increased understanding in academic content and vocabulary for subjects such as math, science, and social studies.
- Heightened awareness of academic and behavioral expectations at school.
- Better relationships with students and adults.
- Lower stress levels during the English language learning period to ensure a safe, structured setting for practicing new language and receive immediate, constructive feedback.
English language development programs adjust instruction to the child's strengths and needs. Instructional strategies, practices, and methods to help each child learn English and meet age-appropriate academic standards are based upon scientific research. The expectation for English language learners (ELLs) is that students fully transition into mainstream classes, meet appropriate academic achievement standards for grade promotion, and graduate from high school at the same rate as mainstream students.
FERPA
FERPA stands for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. 
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents
- the right to have access to their children's education records
- the right to seek to have the records amended
- and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records.
When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student.
