The goal of a careful and thoughtful placement process is to provide all students with an equal opportunity for a positive and strong educational experience.  In determining placement we consider what we know about individual students, student groups that work well together, parent/guardian input, and issues of classroom balance.  Our paramount duty during the placement process is to create well-balanced classrooms that provide the best instructional setting for all students.

Your input is an important aspect of the placement process.  If you have input you would like us to consider, please fill out this form by May 21, 2020. Please keep in mind that this form is not for requesting a specific teacher.
 
1. Completion of this form is optional.  All students will be given careful consideration for classroom placement, whether or not parent/guardian input is provided.
2. The information you provide will be shared with the appropriate faculty involved with your child’s placement – it is not confidential.
3. Please understand that we likely will not be able to create classrooms that honor all requests, especially requests to separate children and/or requests regarding combination classrooms.

Our student placement process is guided by the following beliefs and principles:

-Every child’s placement is important and deserves careful consideration.
-Every Chain Lake teacher is dedicated to high academic standards and meeting the learning and social needs of each child.
-Students benefit from new experiences.
-Balanced classrooms should reflect our diverse society.

Thank you for your support in helping us place your child in the learning environment that supports him or her the most. Chain Lake Elementary remains dedicated to providing your child with a quality and enriching learning experience.
