Preparing For Next School Year - Parent Input
Additionally, while considering your child’s learning characteristics and social interaction style, your child’s current teachers will soon begin to work on student placement for next year. They will work to place your child in a friendly, collaborative group with other children with whom he/she works well.
If you would like your child to be placed with a specific peer, please complete the form below. Every effort will be made to place your child with one of the students listed below. Please list six names to ensure a classroom placement with a peer. If fewer than six names are provided, the likelihood of your child being placed with a peer listed is decreased.
Teacher requests will not be honored.

Form needs to be completed by March 31, 2022

A Friendly Reminder Regarding Student Drop Off
K-4 drop off begins at 8:50 am, and students need to be in their classroom by 9:05 am in order to be marked as present.
If you drive your child to school, please plan accordingly so that they have time to walk to their classroom. If they eat breakfast at school, it is recommended that they arrive close to 8:50am so that they have enough time to eat.
The back gate is kept open until 9:05 am to help prevent parents from having to park and sign their child in late, but students are counted as tardy if they arrive after 9:05 am.
