LSES Parent Information Form 2024 - 2025

Student Placement at Lorton Station ES for the 2024-25 School Year

As we work toward building classes for next year, we consider input from both staff and parents. If you would like to share information about the way your child learns or qualities in a teacher that you feel would help your student succeed, please complete the form below by June 7, 2024. While we cannot honor requests for specific teachers, we do consider parents’ input about learning styles.

When completing the form, please follow these guidelines:
  • Share the qualities of a teacher and classroom environment that would best meet your child’s needs.
  • Let us know if you feel that your child should be separated from another student. We will take that request into consideration. Please remember that best friends do not necessarily belong in the same instructional group.
  • PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A TEACHER BY NAME OR GENDER.

Please note: Because of enrollment changes over the summer, class assignments will not be finalized until mid-August.

Thank you!
