Your child’s current classroom teacher(s) works together with specialists and same grade-level teachers to prepare class lists for the next school year.  They carefully consider each student’s individual needs and use the following criteria to create compatible and balanced classrooms:

• Balance of boys and girls                                  
• Balance of achievement levels                                      
• Balance of class size throughout the grade level
• Parent input based on academic and social/emotional needs or concerns
•Students identified for special services
• Separation of students who do not perform well together


On the checklist below, mark the academic and/or social/emotional concerns you would like considered in your child’s placement.  Please note that requests for a specific teacher are NOT ACCEPTED because it discounts other important criteria and affects overall classroom composition.  Final decisions for class placement rest with school personnel.
