Letters will be coming!
Please use the FAQs we shared with parents if you are asked about placement.
Thanks.
Can I write a letter about the teacher I want my scholar to have or not have next year?
Yes, you can write a letter sharing the characteristics of the ideal star teacher your star scholar needs to be successful in the classroom. Naming a specific star teacher will not be honored.
Do you take specific teacher requests?
No we do not take specific star teacher requests because staffing can change at anytime and any CES staff member will meet the needs of your star scholar. Specific star teacher requests will not be honored.
When is the optional letter due to Mrs. Hilliard describing the characteristics of the ideal star teacher for my star scholar?
