Dragons' Diary Week of April 21st

Please take the time to visit your student(s) classroom(s). Please refrain from going to other grade level classrooms, as this is a time for the current students and families to spend time together with their teacher. We appreciate your cooperation.

As the school year comes to a close, we are preparing to create classes for the 2025-2026 school year. Lin Howe is fortunate to have highly qualified, incredible teachers! While each classroom structure may be slightly different and each teacher has their own personality, we invest a lot of time and consider many factors when creating classes.

Providing parent input is optional. Your child’s current teacher, our inclusion teachers, and our support team will be involved in the process of creating classes for the 2025-2026 school year and will utilize all of the knowledge they have acquired about your child as a student and as a person when placing them for next school year.

If you wish to submit input, please complete this form and submit it no later than Friday, May 2nd at 3:30pm.

The creation of classes is a dynamic task involving many factors including, but not limited to student learning styles, student/teacher personalities, student-student dynamics, academic achievement levels, English Language Levels, and gender. It is our goal to create balanced classes which meet all of our students’ needs.

Thank you to all of those that have already donated!

We have received over $28,000, not including the company matching funds.
