Dear Parents,
Parents of students who will attend Waxpool for the 2022-2023 school year are invited to discuss placement with the current classroom teacher and/or the principal before classes are formed for the next school year.
Consideration of all educational factors, academic and social, are the primary determinants in placement decisions. Teachers will complete a placement card for each student that will include information about academic performance, work habits, learning styles, and special programs in which students are currently enrolled. The final decision on all placement rests with the principal after due consideration of staff recommendations and parent input.
Parents are welcome to meet with the principal to discuss reasons for a child to be placed with a particular teaching style, or not with a particular teacher. Parents should understand that teachers may be assigned to a different grade level and that a particular teacher may not be available. Any additional information that may be beneficial for student placement should be discussed with administration by the May 28 deadline. Parents should be aware that other considerations may prevent the honoring of such requests.
Parents are encouraged to complete the Parent Input form below. This form helps with student placement and is given to next year’s teacher. Please note that we start fresh every year and do not keep or remember previous requests.
With Piranha Pride,
Michael Pellegrino
TEXTING DURING THE DAY
Many students bring their own personal devices/telephones/watches to school. These devices should be used for instructional purposes throughout the school day. Please refrain from texting your students throughout the day as it becomes a distraction to our learning environment. Our office is ALWAYS available to deliver emergency information and messages to students.
