Class Placement for 2018/2019 – This is a reminder regarding the process of submitting a request for next year’s class placement. As per School District 42 expectations, please take note of the following:
- We do not accept requests for specific teachers. We do accept information about your child’s learning styles that might help us make stronger placements.
- Please remember that our teachers have a rich amount of information about your child – this information makes for strong class placements and is based on a year-long experience with them.
- We cannot make placements based solely on friendships, especially if the social energy of the group is interfering with the classroom learning conditions.
- Teachers cannot make any guarantees about next year’s class placements – if teachers suggest a teacher for next year, please remember it is only a suggestion. With changes in staffing and fluctuating enrollment – things can often change unexpectedly.
- Parent requests are one piece of the information we consider when placing students. We also have many other factors to consider and often our class placements are complex.
- Our ultimate goal is to create balanced classrooms that are beneficial for all.
- Requests MUST be on the school form – click the following link: parent input form
