SCHOOL NEWS
CLASS PLACEMENT PROCESS BEGINS
As we plan for next year, we will begin our process of class placements for all of our current students. Our teams of teachers and administrators spend a considerable amount of time looking closely at academic abilities, special learning considerations, social interactions, among many other things in order to make up the best learning environments for all students. Parent input is also considered as our teams of teachers and administrators develop the class lists between now and the start of the next school year.
If you would like your child to be placed with a specific peer or give us any other pertinent information to consider, please complete the form attached to this newsletter. Every effort will be made to place your child with one of the students listed. Please list six names to ensure a classroom placement with a peer. If fewer than six names are provided, the likelihood of your child being placed with a peer listed is decreased.
For your input to be considered it is imperative that this form is completed and submitted
NO LATER than March 15, 2019.
This form is OPTIONAL!
