Parent Input Form
Student placement is a critical educational process based on criteria serving many educational purposes. Below is a brief bulleted description of this process:
- The building process is initiated in May.
- The current classroom teacher individually reviews student strengths and needs to group their students for placement across an established number of classrooms projected for the coming year.
- Grade level teams convene to coordinate placement and create heterogeneous groupings with consideration to gender, academic levels, diversity, student strengths and needs, with a goal toward appropriate instructional groupings.
- Specialists and Support Teachers have an opportunity to collaborate throughout the process.
- Class lists are generated in August.
- Changes are rare and must be based on data or extenuating circumstances.
Campus administrators, out of concern for the total school program, maintain the right and the responsibility for placement. We understand that parents are also interested in providing feedback therefore, we have created the parent input form to gather that feedback.
Please understand that we cannot honor requests for specific teachers. Children’s needs and programming will be the primary considerations for student placement. If parents have additional pertinent information about their child, they may submit it to the principal for consideration by May 12, 2017. Please use the designated school form that is available as a download. You will find the link below. Use of this form is the most effective and efficient way for you to provide feedback. We kindly ask that you use the form as it is designed. Thank you!
Second Grade Program
2nd grade students will be performing at the PTA meeting on Tuesday evening, April 4. Each class now has one more rehearsal before the event. To help ensure a successful performance, I encourage you to have your child go to my teacher website and practice the songs.
- We would like to have students go to the cafeteria annex between 6:15 and 6:30.
- The PTA will have a short meeting starting at 6:30, then we will bring the students in for their performance.
- The performance is about 20-30 minutes long, so we should finish before 7:30.
- There is no special dress requirements for this performance.
