    Last Chance to Complete the Student Survey for Next Year

    Though the beginning of the next school year may seem far away, we are already beginning our planning for classroom assignments. To assist in this process, each year we like to provide families the opportunity to share some information about your child by completing the Student Survey Form.  Please note that we do not accept requests for a particular teacher.  Your feedback will be shared with the entire committee (admin, supporting teachers, counselors, & specialists) when we collaboratively make our class placements.  When our committee makes our class placements, we will use a complex set of data including academic needs, social / emotional / behavioral needs, teacher feedback, and will also include parent feedback from this form.  Our promise to the community is that we will read and consider this feedback when making class placements so that we ensure all students are successful next year.    Please complete this form no later Friday, May 19th, 2023. Any feedback received after this date will not be used in our class placement meetings.

    We have a limited number of Lifetouch classroom pictures available for purchase. The cost to purchase a class picture is $10. Please email Sally Bippert to purchase one today!
