Teacher Requests for the 2019-2020 School Year
TEACHER REQUESTS FOR THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR
We are starting the process of classroom assignments for next school year. This process will not be totally complete until June. There are several items the principal and teachers take into consideration as students are assigned to classrooms. These items include: academic information, gender ratios, behavior and emotional concerns, students with special needs, English language learners, as well as other special considerations. We discourage requests as they make our effort to achieve a classroom balance more difficult using the above factors.
If you believe a request is for a SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL reason, you may request a specific teacher using the following procedures:
Complete the Teacher Request Form. These forms are in the school office. Specific educational reasons for the request must be noted on the form.
The form must be turned into the office no later than Friday, April 12, 2019.
There is no guarantee that parent requests are honored. The balance of the classes as described above is our primary concern.
Requests received after the deadline will not be honored.
