Many factors are considered when the building principal makes placement decisions: ➤specific academic needs ➤specific behavioral needs ➤equal balance of gender and academic ability ➤information from a student’s current teacher ➤information from parents If you feel there is specific information about your child that should be considered when making an appropriate placement for next year, there will be a Special Consideration Form available for you to pick up in the school office the week after Spring Break. Compiling class lists involves a great deal of preparation and thought, therefore it will be important to return this form by W edn esd ay, Ap ril 22 nd in order for your input to be considered. Your feedback is important to us and you can rest assured every effort will be made to select a placement that is well suited to your child.
