GROWING TOGETHER

MESSAGE FROM DR. COOPER
The Neihardt staff will soon begin the process of designing class lists for the 2024-25 school year. Our main goal is to provide positive experiences for all students. We strive to create balanced classrooms with regards to personalities, abilities, needs, learning styles, peer relations, and gender balance. Staff work to place students in a learning environment that would best meet their individual needs. Each child is considered individually by members of the following teams: Teachers who currently work within the grade-level, HAL, Special Education, Speech Language Pathologist, Administration, Interventionists, and the School Counselor.
We recognize that you value your child's education and can offer valuable insight about them. If you would like to have input into your child’s placement for next year, please schedule an appointment with me. During this meeting, I will ask for you to share input about your child’s learning style, strengths, and areas of needed improvement. This input will be considered when Neihardt teams make placement decisions. Requests for a specific teacher will not be considered. To make an appointment please email me at trcooper@mpsomaha.org or call 402-715-8360 prior to April 5th. Input will not be considered in the process after April 5th as we begin making placement decisions at that time.
Thank you for your trust and support,
Dr. Tara Cooper
