Dear Families,
As we begin planning for the 2025–26 school year, we want to acknowledge the importance of children having varied learning experiences with a range of peers and teaching styles. In most cases, making a specific placement request is not necessary and not usually in the best interest of the student, as it may limit these valuable growth opportunities.
That said, we understand there may be circumstances where families feel it is important to share information that could support their child’s success next year. While we do our best to consider parent/guardian input, we cannot guarantee that all requests can be honored.
When building class lists, our goal is to create balanced learning environments that support the academic, social, and emotional growth of all students. In doing so, we consider a number of factors, including learning needs, peer dynamics, and teacher input.
If you wish to make a classroom placement request, please keep the following in mind:
- Requests should focus on your own child’s individual learning needs (academic, social-emotional, etc.).
- Requests involving peers will only be considered if there is a demonstrated positive and productive working relationship between the students.
- Please remember that other families may have different requests, and students you mention may have different needs or placements being considered.
- All requests must be submitted using the form in the link provided. Verbal requests or emails sent to teachers or the school office will not be considered.
- The deadline to complete the request form is Friday, May 9, 2025, at 6:00 PM. Requests submitted after this deadline cannot be considered.
As we review your input, we will consider it through the lens of what is best for your child and the learning environment as a whole.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
