Student Placement Parent Input for 21-22
Deadline to Submit: Friday, May 28th
IF YOUR CHILD DOES NOT NEED SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS, PLEASE IGNORE.
As we begin planning for next school year, one of our most challenging tasks is creating class groupings. It is very important to have balanced classes that reflect the diversity of our student population. These decisions are made with input from your child's current teachers, our school-based student support team members and the principal.
On occasion, parents have a child who needs special considerations. In such cases, parents are asked to put their requests in writing, telling us about your child's learning style, strengths and needs as a learner. You may also want to list characteristics of a teacher that would best match your student's needs. Please note, requests for specific teachers will not be honored, therefore, we ask that you do not name a teacher while completing an input form. Forms that include a request for a specific teacher will not be honored.
We appreciate, in advance, your support and cooperation with this process.

STEM: Making a wind-powered recycled material vehicle
Small groups of 4th grade students have been able to start exploring STEM activities as an extension of their classroom learning time! We thank Mrs. Smart for her passion and initiative in growing our youngsters' knowledge in the engineering design process. In the latest exploration, students:
learned about wheels and axles, friction and gravity.
created the body of the vehicle out of one of the recycled materials and two axle/wheel assemblies.
attached the wheel/axles to the vehicle.
decided what material to use for the “sail”.
attached the sail to the vehicle.
engaged in some trials on the vehicle; adjusted the design.
measured the distance the Wind-Powered Vehicle traveled.
charted the distances of the different vehicles in the class.
identified what patterns they saw and what variables affected the distance traveled and the materials/styles that made the best sail.
