You can now log onto ParentVue and see your student's teacher assignment!
Here are some important reminders regarding your student's teacher assignment.
At the end of last school year, the teachers put a LOT of time and very careful thought into building the absolute best learning environment for your students. They thought about positive friendships between students as well as students who might not be successful together. They took parent feedback about learning styles and added it to what they saw in the classroom. They even talked with other teachers in their grade level as well as other staff members around the building to ensure that they were not missing anything. This whole process took well over a month! My point being, teachers were very intentional in every step of this process.
Our reason for waiting over the summer before releasing teacher assignments is to ensure that any movement over the summer can be balanced out. New students moving into Abernethy can be added to classes and students who have had a change of plans over the summer and are leaving can be taken out. All this is done while still focusing on keeping a strong balance within each classroom and ensuring that the learning environment stays positive for all students. Once all students are grouped, I assign the teachers, double checking all parent feedback that we collected at the end of last year.
If you remember, communication around parent feedback was to share information that would help in building the best learning environment for your student, NOT to tell us what specific teacher you would like. Please know that when I share parent feedback information with the staff and when I review the feedback before finalizing class lists, I do not look at specific teacher requests.
Due to the amount of time and intentional thought that has gone into this process, we will NOT be making class placement changes.
Please also note that if you see Ms. Arthurs as your assigned 3rd grade teacher, She now goes by Ms. Shah.
