Open House
Class Placement Procedure
This is the time of the year we look at class assignments for the next school year. Often times we have parents expressing an interest in the process for assigning students to our K-5th grade classrooms. Please be assured that it is not an easy task. Thoughtful collaboration takes place with all of the teams prior to the principal finalizing the class lists.
To begin, our classroom teachers collaborate together and look at learning styles, social and emotional needs, learning abilities, behaviors, and girl to boy ratios to create the most heterogeneous classes possible. Our learning specialists and support staff are involved in this decision-making process as well.
Parental requests are only considered when there is an extenuating circumstance that would require specific placement. Although we are unable to promise a specific teacher, parents may provide us with information that would help us to determine the type of classroom environment that would best fit their child. We will make the best placement we can. It is our goal to provide every child the opportunity to be successful during their years as a South student.
South Garden Sign Up
The South PTO garden sign up is out! Every year students at South raise veggies and flowers that we plant in the garden. Parents bring their kids during the summer to water and harvest the veggies and bring home cut flowers. Sign up today using the link below. It is a great activity for the summer and allows kids to see the whole plant life cycle. Please contact our garden parent volunteer, Andy Reinhard, if you have any questions.
