Student Placement Input Opportunity
As spring progresses, we are beginning our process for considering classes for the forthcoming 23/24 school year. As we do so, we want to make sure that families are informed and involved in this multi-month effort.
As an overview, our Monroe team utilizes the months of May, June, July, and August to cooperatively plan for the placement of our students into classes for the coming year. Current teachers, along with paraeducators, specialists, and administrators, work together to provide input. Our collective goal is to build a foundation for community by drafting balanced class rosters, which include the equitable placement of our learners in relation to each child’s strengths and needs (academically, socially, and emotionally).
As part of our process, we look to you as parents/guardians for insight related to your child’s needs. Please note that this is different from requests for placement with a specific teacher as that is feedback we cannot consider. Teaching assignments for the coming year have not been determined, and it is important that we keep our class formation process focused on the needs of our students and on creating the best possible classroom community for every child. Feedback is most impactful when it describes the unique qualities of the child.
The below-linked feedback form has been designed for that purpose, and we encourage you to spend a few minutes providing insights that will assist us in drafting classes across the coming months. Please note that this form will close on Tuesday, May 30th.

Please note that class rosters are not finalized until late August. Placements are communicated prior to our planned Meet Your Teacher event in early September.
