Next week, our students in grades 3-6 begin taking the Standards of Learning assessments (SOLs) in reading and math. We know our students will do their best and appreciate the support and encouragement you provide at home.

2024-2025 Class Placement and Family Input
2024-2025 Class Placement - Family Input Form
We are starting to work on our plans for the 2024-2025 school year! Class placements are an essential component of learning and building community. If you have information that you would like us to consider as we determine placements, please share your input by answering a few questions in the attached form. We know that a good teacher-student match and a productive mix of children are ingredients for success, and we carefully consider each child’s strengths and needs during this process. Please do not request specific teachers, as this does not take into account the many variables we must take into consideration. It is far more valuable to share particular academic or behavioral information.
Completion of this form is optional. If you would like to provide input, you may use this online form or a hard copy may be sent to the office by May 17th. This is a hard deadline.
