Parents,
It's hard to believe we're in the last quarter of the school year! As we wrap up this amazing school year, we are beginning to prepare for the 2026-2027 school year as well.
One of the important things we do to get ready for the next school year is class placements. Multiple staff members (including current teachers, counselors, specialists, and the administration) collaborate as a team to place students in an optimal learning situation each year. At Floris, we are intentional about creating balanced classrooms, to ensure that all students have academic peer groups and form social connections. We must take many considerations into account such as heterogeneous groupings, balancing academic abilities, and maximizing the support of our resource staff for students.
Parents are welcome to provide input as part of the placement process; however, we ask that you do not request specific teachers, as this does not account for the many variables involved, including potential staffing changes. Instead, it is most helpful to share your child’s social, emotional, and academic strengths and needs. Please be assured that every child is carefully considered in this thorough and complex process, regardless of whether a parent input form is submitted.
To ensure fairness, special consideration cannot be given to individual requests, as it would not be possible to honor all of them. Additionally, staff assignments may change due to factors such as enrollment shifts, and final grade-level placements are not determined until late summer. For this reason, staff have been asked not to share placement information in advance, as changes may occur that could lead to disappointment for students and families.
If you would like to share information that you believe would help us as we are making these placement decisions, please click on this link. Completion of this form is optional.
**Current 6th grade families, please do not complete this form. This is information for Floris planning. It is not information for Rachel Carson MS.**
Please note that the deadline for submitting this information is Friday, May 15, 2026
