Classroom placement is an important process for our students, and our teachers and staff invest significant time and effort to ensure the creation of healthy learning groups and environments. It is important to develop balanced classrooms by considering students’ gender, academic, social, and emotional needs. We strive to create an optimal learning environment for students in each of our teacher’s classrooms.

If you wish to share more specific information about your child's placement, please indicate your thoughts on this Optional Parent Input Form.

Please complete the form no later than midnight on Wednesday, April 30.

The input you provide will be reviewed and considered as we begin planning for your child for the 2025-2026 school year. While specific teacher requests cannot be accommodated, your insight is valued as we take many variables into consideration.

Please note, the input you share is not private between the Principal and parent and will be shared during the placement process. Please complete a form for each of your children, if desired.

We look forward to providing your child with continued learning excellence! Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts with our staff.
