Student Placement Requests for 2019-2020 School Year
Deadline: Wednesday, May 1   
 
Considerable thought and effort are given to student scheduling here at WMS. It is a highly complex, intricate, and time-consuming process. Parents may make specific placement requests only under the following circumstances:
 
  • If you have concerns about a teacher based on an older sibling's experience, you may request a different teacher for your child. You may not, however,request a specific teacher.
  • If your child has had difficulty with a specific student which has negatively impacted your child's ability to learn, you may request that the children be placed in separate clusters.
  • Please know that we cannot consider requests from parents to place students together.

Requests must be sent via email to  [email protected]  no later than  Wednesday, May 1st . Please include your child's first and last name, and grade they will be in as of September 2019. Although we will work hard to honor your request, we cannot make any guarantees.
