Assigning Students To a Teacher and Classes in Grades K-12

Each Building Principal will have the responsibility and the authority for assignment of each student to his or her class and, therefore, his or her teacher with the best interests of the child in mind. Principals will not take requests to place children with particular teachers. The parent(s) is/are encouraged to consult with their Principal or designee in the spring prior to classroom assignments concerning the child's learning style, specialties and difficulties, and particular needs, personal or educational. The parent(s) is/are also encouraged to discuss with the Building Principal the child's progress in the fall once classes are under way. However, the Principal will make the final determination in placing all children.
