A message from the principal
As we prepare for taking steps in to the next school year, You will be able to request a 'type' of teacher for your child using the Google link below. A certain teacher may not be available because of staff changes that occur from year to year. You will be requesting a specific 'type', not a specific teacher.
The teachers, Mrs. Dias, and I spend an enormous amount of time placing our students in the most appropriate classroom for the upcoming school year. Classes must be balanced as to academic needs, gender, behavioral accommodations, learning styles, and individual learning needs. We also consider the teaching and learning styles. We encourage you to trust us to select the most appropriate teacher for your child.
Not everyone will need to complete the Google Form. We understand and appreciate the vast majority of parents who are comfortable with our placement of their children. However, if you feel your child has areas we need to address and are not aware of, now is the time to complete the Google Form. The Google Form must be completed by Friday, May 19th. Type of teacher form
We hope you are staying. However, if you are planning on attending another school next year, please make sure to complete the form below. This also helps us tremendously as we plan for next year.
Thanks,
Dr. Jamar
