Class Placements 2018/2019
Every year in late
May, we organize classes for the following year. Input is appreciated
from parents when we are making these placement decisions. Our main
objective is to create classes that will provide the optimum learning
environment for everyone.
We recognize that
children have their own learning styles. We appreciate that parents have
valuable information to share with us as we make placement decisions based on
children’s capabilities, gender, work habits and behaviours.
Teachers have the
benefit of knowing the children with whom they are currently working. We
rely on their professional decisions. If, however, you have information
or suggestions that will help teachers and admin make an appropriate placement,
please write a note or email to the Principal, Alison Hall, before May 15th, 2018. Requests for certain
teachers will not be considered, rather please indicate the learning style
or classroom structure which would be most appropriate for your child.
When teachers get together to create new class lists, they will use this
information to help them make their final decisions. Requests for class
placements will be considered as part of the input for these meetings but are
not a guarantee of the final placement.
We do our best each
year to balance the amount of times that a student is in a combined grade,
however, just because a student was in a combined grade one year, it does not
guarantee that they will be in straight grade the following year.
Thank you very much
for your consideration and input.
