Optional Parent Input Forms for Class Placement

Although it is hard to believe, we are already thinking of and preparing for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year! Our student /parent placement procedures are designed to match students to appropriate learning environments. Based on our extensive knowledge of teacher style, classroom design, and student needs, we make the placement decision.

We accept parent feedback regarding any special consideration that should be made concerning placement or perceptions of a beneficial learning environment for your child. If you would like to complete a parent input form, please send it in by April 21, 2023. Parent input will be given serious consideration during the placement process.
