Our teachers and the administrative team collaborate to form classes for each school year. The principal DOES NOT make the classes. The grade level sits together with the principal and we work together. We consider many things as we are making classes such as:

  • Balancing the class in terms of abilities in reading and math. We would not want a teacher to have only one student at a particular reading level with no others to form a group. We do not ability group an entire class but cluster group students to facilitate small group instruction.
  • Ensuring each student has a familiar face and that they are separated from students who may not work well together at school or who are together all the time outside of school.
  • Ensuring each classroom has volunteers to depend on for help with parties, chaperoning field trips, working in the classroom and helping the teacher in other ways.
  • Ensuring the classes are balanced in regards to demographics.
  • Ensuring each student is matched with a teacher who is a great fit for that child’s personality and learning needs.

Needless to say, this is a daunting task and we begin early.

At this time we are not certain of changes in personnel for next school year. We have some teachers who are moving to new grade levels, may be adding classes depending on number of transfers we accept and it’s always possible that teacher’s personal situation change over the summer and they don’t return.

That’s why this information is important to help us.

If you have something for us to consider, please complete this form. Do not just tell your child’s current teacher. If you have special considerations this form must be turned in for us to consider them. We will consider all informationwe receive but will not guarantee a particular teacher for your child.
