Class Placement for 2024-25
Here we go into the final stretch of the year! As we prepare for all that happens in May and June, we also start to plan ahead for a smooth start to next school year. As the end of the year approaches, we are hard at work to ensure a smooth start to the upcoming school year.
We will soon be working on designing balanced classes for next year.
Are you moving schools? Please email covesecretaries@lcmschools.org as well as your child’s teacher so we can plan for staffing and classrooms next year. Thank you!
Staffing- We are still figuring out our enrollment and who will be teaching what next year. That means we do not know who will be teaching which grade. Things may change, so you cannot assume the grade level will have the same teachers next year. We will not honor requests for a specific teacher, so please do not ask!
Placement- We consider multiple factors when designing class groups. We look at learning styles, gender, language, learning needs, friendships, and level of independence among many other variables throughout the process. Once our preliminary process is complete, there are many changes that happen over the summer with regards to new enrollments, people moving, etc. For that reason, we share final class lists in August, a few days before school begins.
In the meantime, only if there are extenuating circumstances or factors that are unique to your child as a learner please be sure to communicate these (in writing/email), to your child’s teacher. Please remember that your teacher knows your child very well, and only needs information that they do not already know (ie. a need to be separated from someone in another class). Please do not talk with teachers about their colleagues - that makes them very uncomfortable.
We take this job of class placement for your child very seriously. Thank you for respecting our process!
Sincerely,
Michelle Walker
