This is the time of the year that we start looking ahead to make tentative placement decisions for classes next school year. I rely heavily on my staff to make academic decisions in the best interest of students as well as considering any special programs in place: GT, Special Education, 504, ESL, etc. We also like to hear your perspective as parents about what teacher characteristics you see working best for your child as well as giving you a chance to tell us a little more about your child's specific characteristics. I personally review these lists when discussing final placement decisions. It is impossible for us to honor a specific teacher request from all of our parents, so we ask that you not name a teacher on your forms. We also ask that you use the form as your avenue to let us know what you would like to see and not burden our current teachers with trying to balance what everyone wants. This is an important time and we do not make any student placements without careful thought and hearing from all staff and parents regarding each individual child. Thank you for understanding that none of the decisions are final until August.
Thank you,
Tara Bailey
