CLASSROOM ASSIGNMENTS FOR 2008-09

Policies for Classroom Assignments
Attached to your student's classroom newsletter on Friday will be a letter explaining the process of assigning students to their 2008-2009 classroom. Below is a brief excerpt of this letter:


In making the important decision of classroom placement, we consider all relevant information so that placements will be made to ensure everyone’s success. However, I should emphasize that parents will not be given the option of choosing their child’s classroom teacher. I understand your concern in regard to your child having a successful year; however, I hope you can understand that it would be inappropriate to place one parent’s preference before another’s. Furthermore, it is each teacher’s professional responsibility to create an optimal learning environment for his/her students. Therefore, I must reemphasize that we will make decisions using all the relevant data with regard to placing your child, and then provide a year filled with outstanding learning opportunities.


For the full explanation, please read the letter that will be sent home on Friday. Please feel free to call me at 630-783-5200 if you have any questions.
