Class Placement for Next Year


Class Placement

A great deal of time and effort goes into making class placements for the following school year.  Many factors are considered and the process is both lengthy and challenging at times.  In order to make the best placement for all Heritage students in a fair and consistent manner we have developed a process through which you will have the opportunity to give us important information about your child if you would like to provide input for the following year.  Because of the increased number of teacher specific requests it has become necessary to develop a different system that is fair and equitable to all students.  We no longer accept requests for specific teachers.  We know that as your child’s first teacher you have valuable input when it comes to your child’s education.  Therefore, we have developed a method for you to provide us with that information without naming a specific teacher. 

 
Each spring an article and the request form (see below) will be on this Heritage website notifying all parents of the opportunity to provide this input.  This information will be considered when making placements for the next school year.  All requests for specific teachers or information containing the name of a specific teacher will not be honored.  All information submitted to the school office by the deadline on the form (May 9th) will be taken into consideration.  Thank you.
