Parent/Family Right to Know Parents/Families have a “Right to Know” if their child is taught by a teacher that is NOT highly qualified for four weeks or longer. Currently, ALL teachers on BGHS’s campus are highly qualified. All students will receive their reading, writing and math AZ Merit scores. Upon the request of parents/families, the school must provide opportunities for regular meetings for parents/families to make suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions about the education of their children.
