Staff Appreciation week was great!
Thank you to everyone who helped us appreciate our staff!!
Family Input for Class Placement for 2022-23 - As the end of our school year draws near, so does our planning for grouping students into new classrooms for the 2022-2023 school year. Our objective is to meet every student’s needs, while creating the most balanced groups possible. We will address each child’s social, emotional, physical and academic needs, as well as learning style. We will also consider gender balance, range of abilities, students benefiting from being together or separated, and class size. The placement decisions will be made by a faculty team consisting of classroom teachers, instructional coaches, resource teachers, the social worker, the psychologist, School counselor and the principal. This process requires multiple meetings to make the best possible placements.
Your input to this process is also valuable. I have provided a google form that will give you the opportunity to contribute to our placement decisions. The placement teams will read and consider all information provided. Please provide details as to your child’s learning style, strengths, challenges, interests, and any other information you feel would be pertinent to class placement. The process is complex, and it would be impossible to honor all requests.
If you would like us to consider your input as we place your child, the information must be received by May 15th. Once the process is started, and balanced classes are created, it will be too late to add your input.
Preliminary class lists developed by the end of the school year may change over the summer as new students enroll and current students move out of the Calf Pen Meadow community. Therefore, classroom assignments for the 2022– 2023 school year will not be finalized until the end of the summer and will be available through PowerSchool in August. Assignments will not be given before that time. We ask that you honor the time and effort put forth by our staff in organizing each of the class lists. Changes in class assignments will not be made once placements are made available to students and parents. The staff takes this process very seriously and will review all information in a professional manner. This work will contribute to creating a positive classroom environment for all of our students. Thank you for your input and cooperation.

Dear 5th Grade Parents/Guardians, On April 25 a letter was sent to each Grade 5 family listing the district assigned Middle School for the 22-23 school year along with information on the May 19, 2022 middle school visit day. Please contact the main office if you have any questions. As always, thank you for your continued support. We value your involvement, partnership, and support in your child’s education! |
