Class Request Information for the 2014-2015 School Year
A change has been made this year to the process of sharing class placement requests and special considerations for next school year. I ask that parents who would like to share a request or other information with me regarding their child’s class placement for next year, to please come to the school’s front office during the request window of May 19-30 to receive and fill out a request form. Forms will include specific guidelines regarding the request process. In order for a request to be accepted, it must be completed according to the guidelines, have a secretary’s signature approving the form, and must be received by a member of our office staff during the request window (May 19-30). Forms will not be sent home. I will consider the gathered information along with other academic and school information as I work to create classes that are balanced according to range of student ability, behaviors, gender, and the number of students. If you have any questions, please visit with me or a member of the school’s office staff. Thank you. Mike Larsen
