At Pioneer Elementary School we do not allow parents to select which teacher their child will have the following year. However, we will consider information you would like to provide regarding your child’s needs for a successful learning experience. This opportunity will be available annually from April 1st-April 15th.  Classroom placements will be completed for the following year shortly after this timeline.  

In addition to considering parent input, we believe teachers know students in their classrooms very well and are well positioned to place them in the best learning environment to meet their individual student needs.  Selection of individual teachers could also restrict our ability to provide the best educational setting for ALL students.  We consider the following criteria when placing all of our children into balanced and healthy classrooms:
*Gender balance
*Distribution of performance levels
*Balance of students with special programming (Special Services, ELL, Title I, etc.)
*Parent input
*Family Factors (ex. twin siblings)
*Available support for high behavioral needs
*Balance of varying social skill and work habit levels
*Equitable class size across grade level
*Equitable access to school resources for programming needs
*Student learning style and teacher delivery of instruction
