Classroom Assignments for 2019-2020
It is time for teachers to make plans for next school year. Assigning students to the best teachers is one the most important items. What I mean by “best teacher” is that we match the student and teacher by reviewing the student learning style, teacher teaching style, personalities, amount of structure needed, emotional needs, etc. The list goes on. Should you feel strongly that your child needs a certain type of teacher, you can send me, in writing, about the type of teacher that your child needs. Out of respect and trust for all of our teachers, a request with a specific name of the teacher will not be accepted. Thank you, in advance, for your trust in us. If you choose to submit teacher characteristics, please have your written request in by today, May 17, 2019.
Thank you,
Karen Lee
