Principal's Message
April 10, 2013
Dear Parents,
As parents and educators, we desire the same thing for our children—the best possible education. We are committed to every child’s success. Our goal is to create balanced classes which meet the academic and social needs of your child.
Meetings for placement in grades one through fourth grade will take place during the months of May and June. At each grade level, the classroom teachers and all our professional staff will meet to provide input for placement for the 2013-14 year.
As you may know, each of our classes is a heterogeneous group of children. When we develop our classes, we consider reading and math abilities, gender, learning style/teaching style, behavioral patterns, peer relationships and overall class balance.
The professional staff has the responsibility to determine the best placement for each child. If your child has needs, which are not already known to the school, or if you would like to share your view of your child’s learning style, please submit this in writing to me by April 26th either by mail or email. We can then utilize this information in the placement process. We are not able to consider requests for individual teachers, or friends, but we assure you that we strive to make the best placement for each child.
We appreciate your input and will give it serious consideration. Through a collaborative partnership, we are confident that we can provide the best possible instructional program for every student.
Regards,
Kelly K. Spooner
