Class Placement Comments - 2nd Notice
Hive Happenings Newsletter from April 4th, 2018 Repeated Below
Though every classroom is full of fun learning and is busy with the business of each day, at the same time, we are beginning to think and plan for next school year. The grade level teams, in conjunction with our specialists, Mrs. Hapangama, Mrs. Riley, and I will be working on tentative class groupings this spring, with classroom assignments finalized in late August. As we make these placements we consider many factors including individual student information, teacher input, and social relationships. Every class will have a blend of children with diverse needs, personalities, and learning interests. Due to the many factors we must consider in creating classroom placements, including the reassignment of some teachers to a different grade level and the hiring of new teachers, requests for a specific teacher cannot be honored.
If you have information that you believe is pertinent to your child’s placement for next year, please send a letter or email addressed to Peggy Dammeyer. If sending via email, it would be most helpful if you included the name of your child/children and respective current grade levels within the subject line of the email. The letter must be in the office by Wednesday, April 18th for it to be taken into consideration. Thank you.
