Inspire every child to discover, learn, achieve, and care.
Principal Corner
Dear Parents,
Planning for the next school year begins early. Sometimes parents wonder how students are placed in classrooms and if they can make requests to have their children placed in particular classrooms.
We recognize that parents also have good insights into how their children learn. If you would like to request that certain information be considered in assigning a placement, please complete this Class Placement Request Form. The most helpful comments speak to specific insights you have about your child as a learner. Please consider the following guidelines regarding the placement request process:
*Please do not request a specific teacher.
*If you have more than one child, please complete a separate form for each student.
*All information is kept confidential and only read by Dr. Dwyer and Mrs. Sobotka.
*All requests must be submitted by Friday, April 6.
We have an excellent staff, and so it is our hope that you will trust our expertise with the input from your child’s current teacher to determine the best placement for your child for the upcoming school year.
Have a wonderful day!
Dr. Dwyer

Put Your Child’s Name on Everything!
As winter approaches, students are bringing more clothing items to school each day. Write your child’s name and teacher’s name on hats, gloves, coats, lunch bags, boots, backpacks, and all other items. This will avoid your belongings being placed in our lost and found.
