The staff considers and balances many factors in the sectioning process:
Individual
Learning Gender balance
Student combinations Special education needs Support services needs Class size
Student combinations Special education needs Support services needs Class size
Academic

weaknesses
Our
placement process is a team effort that is completed with great care and
consideration. Teachers review initial lists with specialists to ensure that we
have not overlooked any aspect of appropriate placement based on the factors
listed above. Occasionally, parents wish to share information or specific needs
that may help in the sectioning process, parental requests should be submitted
in writing (letters or emails) to my attention no later than Friday, May 20,
2016. No letters will be accepted after this date. Letters should cite reasons for wanting a specific learning environment
not a specific teacher.
We ask that you do
not make requests for placement into a specific classroom for your child. Such
requests cannot be considered, as this opportunity cannot be available to all
children. We
trust you will rely on our professional judgment as we group the children with
the idea of creating the best learning environment for them. Letters requesting a specific teacher will
be returned.
Classroom assignments for the 2016-2017 school year will be posted during our Back to School Breakfast on Tuesday, August 16th from 7:30 - 8:30.

support, and understanding. We look forward to working with you throughout the
remainder of the school year.
