Dear Pawsome Loring Families,
Dear Families,
In the midst of another unusual year, a sure sign of spring and the fresh start of a new school year this coming September is the formation of new classrooms for the 2022-2023 school year. We take great care in doing so and take into account several factors including teacher input, the need to create balanced classes with regard to number of students, students’ gender, academic, social, and emotional needs. Above all, creating classes that provide for the most effective instruction for all students is our top priority. We have found that when children are grouped appropriately, they have the greatest opportunity for success.
We have experienced success with our class makeups due in large part to the exceptional care our educators put into creating class groupings. The process we use is thoughtful and thorough, consisting of careful consideration of the whole child. Multiple meetings involving grade level teams, specialists, special educators, the mental health team and administrators result in classes we are confident will best support your child’s growth and development. It is our firm belief that each student will have his or her needs met regardless of the assigned teacher; all of our teachers are highly qualified professionals. In addition, although our teachers employ a range of styles, they teach under the same umbrella of shared core values, curriculum, and best instructional practices. It is not necessary that parents communicate regarding class placement.
Parents frequently acknowledge how well our teachers know their children. However, you may believe there is information that may be helpful for us to know in placing your child. To that end, if you would like to share input related to placement, please complete the Loring Class Placement Parent Input Form. As part of the placement process, the placement team will review any information you share. If you choose to provide us information, please complete the linked form by THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2022. Please also be aware that teachers, in the course of the placement process, will have access to parent input. If you do wish to provide input, we ask that you only do so in the way described above.
Requests for a specific teacher will not be accepted. You may indicate if one of your children has already had a specific teacher and you wish for the sibling to have a different experience. Similarly, given the complexity and multi-faceted nature of the class placement process, we cannot accept requests for friends to be placed together. Finally, please be aware that, for all the reasons described, changes to placement, once it is complete, are rarely, if ever, made.
Placement is a responsibility and an opportunity we take very seriously. We appreciate your support in our work as we begin this process.
Sincerely,
Principal
