Classroom Assignments
Class lists will not be posted on the front office this year. You can get your child’s classroom number and teacher for this new school year in two ways. (1) We will send home a letter via School Messenger with information on your child’s class assignment on Thursday, July 18th after 4:00 p.m. If you do not receive an email, no worries. (2) You can pick up your child’s “Beginning of the Year School Packet” from 4:00 – 6:00 pm on Friday. This packet will include your child’s class assignment.
**Your child will only be placed in a class if you have proved residency for the 2019-20 school year. If you have not completed your residency, please come to the office as soon as possible.
No changes will be made to class assignments in the first 3 weeks of school. If you would like to request a classroom change after that, you may submit your request in writing with rationale as to why you are requesting a change. Changes will be considered only if space is available beginning August 12th.
