Class Placements for 2021-2022

LINKS OPEN UNTIL APRIL 18 @ NOON.


One of those important tasks is creating classes for next year. As you can imagine this is truly a herculean task. We take input from everyone within NG who knows and works with our kids, plus input from you and do our very best to create cohesive groups of kids.


As this is our first year going through this together ~ let me give you a preview....Because this is such a complex and comprehensive process I have to stick to some pretty firm guidelines:


  • We will gather parent input until April 18th. The links will close at noon on 4/18.
  • Please know ALL input shared via the links below will be shared with current teachers, next years teachers, as well as all ancillary staff.
  • I do not accept individual correspondence regarding class placements. It all needs to go into the links below.
  • We do not accept individual teacher requests.
  • Class lists will be shared on August 1.
  • We do not make changes to classlists after they are published August 1.

Links to Add Your Input to the Class Placement Process

Please know that all information will be considered but may not be honored due to limitations of space and number and learning needs. Class placements are not changed once they are published in August.
