Dear Sunrise
Drive Families,
During the
last few weeks of each school year, teams of teachers come together to place
children into classes for the following school year. Placement of students in classes for the coming school year is a
decision that is made by the current
grade level teachers, special education teachers, special area teachers, and the
principal. These teams collaborate and consider a
child’s learning style, personality, and other pertinent characteristics of that
individual. Attention is also
given to creating a positive learning environment. Preliminary class lists are developed with no
teacher assignment.
With
this in mind, we are unable to guarantee the granting of requests for specific
teachers for specific children.
However, if you feel that you have any specific information you would
like to provide about your child, in order to help us in placing your child, please fill out the attached
“Parent Input for Student Placement” form. You only need to fill out the form if you have a concern or
something that you think needs to be taken into consideration.
Please fill it out and return it to the office by May 6, 2016. Please do not request a specific teacher.
Please fill it out and return it to the office by May 6, 2016. Please do not request a specific teacher.
We
are committed to making the best possible class placements for each of our
students. It is our intent to
provide a successful learning experience for all students. We encourage your continued confidence
in the Sunrise Drive teachers to make the best possible placement for your
child in consideration of the previously mentioned criteria.
Information
regarding classroom assignments will be mailed to families in early August to
accommodate summer enrollment and withdrawals.
Thank
you,
Andrea
