Important Information Regarding Teacher Requests for the 2024-25 School Year
Dear Franklin Families,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to provide clarification regarding our process for teacher assignments for the upcoming 2024-25 school year.
At Franklin, we understand the importance of creating a supportive and conducive learning environment for all students. One aspect of this is carefully considering teacher assignments to ensure a balanced and equitable distribution of resources and opportunities among all students.
While we appreciate your interest and input regarding specific teacher requests, it's important to note that we will not continue the practice of individual requests for particular teachers. Our goal is to provide each student with a high-quality education and to foster their academic and personal growth under the guidance of our dedicated teaching staff.
Our team of educators carefully assesses various factors, including teaching expertise, classroom dynamics, and student needs, to make thoughtful and informed decisions regarding teacher assignments. Rest assured that every effort is made to create equitably, balanced and effective classroom environments where students can thrive academically and socially.
We encourage open communication and welcome any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child's educational experience. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work together to provide the best possible educational experience for all students.
In Partnership,
Principal Muhammad
