Next Year Class Assignments
The opportunity for parent voice in next year's class placements has passed. Teachers work together in teams to ensure the best possible class composite. Teachers decisions are rooted in a strong instructional and social/emotional rationale. Many students have been together for awhile and in a K-9 every year is a new opportunity for students to grow, mature, and opportunities to develop new relationships with other students. We understand that friendships and relationships among students change throughout the summer but this is not a reason to change class assignments for next year. We stand by our instructional decisions, which have been made with the best insight and in a collaborative approach between teachers. It should also be noted that in a K-9 with a fixed cohort, there are only a certain amount of possible configurations throughout the years.
With our adolescent learners, preparing them for High School includes living with a certain degree of uncertainty. Only through embracing this uncertainty and new opportunities to develop relationships with others do adolescents grow in their level of preparedness for their future worlds.
