Parent Input to Class Placement Form
|
|
In a few short weeks, principals and teachers will begin the process of planning classes for the next school year. This process involves a review of student information by the instructional staff. It also includes an overview of each student’s reading and math performance, academic strengths and weaknesses, a discussion of special learning needs, as well as social and emotional maturity. We feel this is very important in helping each child achieve academic success.
We welcome your input if you feel there is additional information that needs to be considered in this process. If you would like to provide insights regarding your child, please complete the placement form that is attached
HERE
,
posted on the school’s website or available in the office. Our goal is to provide all parents with an opportunity to share information regarding their child’s interests, learning style and personality.
If you choose to provide additional information, please return the placement form by Friday, June 1
st
to the school office. While we value your insights, we ask that you
refrain
from requesting a specific teacher or placement with specific peers. Please understand that such requests make it difficult to meet the needs of every student.
Thank you.
