\n<\/u><\/strong>We are beginning to create our classes for next year.\u00a0Please be assured that staff devote considerable time, care, and attention to this process.\u00a0This very complex and lengthy responsibility occurs over several weeks and continues into September when class placements are finalized.
\nThroughout the year, there have been many opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss each child. Staff work together to consider the following criteria very carefully:\u00a0\u00a0social emotional skills and relationships,\u00a0<\/strong>as well as learning styles, strengths, and needs.<\/strong>\u00a0Our goal is to create safe and engaging inclusive classrooms that balance these factors, as equitably as possible.
\nIf you feel there is further information to consider about your child, you may submit input to Mrs. Dailey in writing by Friday, May 26, 2023.\u00a0Please refrain from requesting specific teachers or peers by name.<\/em><\/p>\n
