26-27 Educational Request Considerations

We will begin making preparations for next year’s class placements as we head into the 4th quarter (March 20). The goal is to create balanced classes by taking into consideration personalities, learning styles, abilities, behavioral needs, and academic needs that will contribute to the most positive and productive learning environment possible for all students. We attempt to balance children for instructional purposes that will provide optimum individual growth and progress. Placing them in classes based on any other factors would defeat this purpose. Elementary is the perfect time for students to meet a variety of children and they are very capable of making new friends.

If you feel that your child has unique circumstances or needs that must be considered as we create next year’s classes, you will need to submit those detailed concerns on this Google Form to be considered by the principal no later than Friday April 4th, 2026. Requests received after this date may not be considered.

We all experience situations in which we must work with others to accomplish a goal or task in our lives. Whether we are working with friends or with someone new, we need tools to help us successfully navigate those situations and maintain healthy relationships.
