News from our Principal
February 10, 2017
Dear Saint Anne Parent,
While this might be hard to believe, we are beginning to focus our sights on spring, summer, and certainly our plans for the 2017-18 school year!
We hope you found the simplified re-registration process easy for your family. That is the first of many steps in the planning process.
With that said...we will follow the same protocol for the class placement process as previous years. This process, by which students are placed in classrooms for the upcoming school year, is extremely complex and time consuming. However, this endeavor is worth all the time, effort, and energy necessary to assure that each student is appropriately placed in the optimal learning environment to meet his/her needs. I would like to take a moment to explain this process.
Beginning in April, the teachers will meet with me and discuss the appropriate placement for each individual child. While each grade level varies depending upon the number of students, make-up of the students, etc... we will work together to strive to have balanced classrooms using the following criteria:
- Each student's placement is individual
- Strengths, as well as needs, are carefully reviewed
- Social and academic needs are all considered
- An attempt will be made to balance the number of boys and girls in each homeroom class should multiple classes be required
- Individual teaching styles and learning styles will be matched to optimize student achievement
Please know that your thoughts and opinions matter as well! Although a request for a specific teacher is strongly discouraged, if you wish to discuss a specific learning environment for your child, please do so in writing. The letter needs to include a detailed explanation regarding the learning environment that you believe is best for your child. Please include any information that could be useful in considering your child's placement.
Please place your letter in an envelope addressed to me with "CLASS PLACEMENT 2017-18 School Year" on it.
Please send these written requests to my attention by Friday, March 24
th
(the last day of school before Spring Break).
In closing, I believe that parental support is a critical component to a child's success in school. May our work together, at home and at school, continue to help each child strive to reach his or her potential.
Thank you for your partnership and unending support of Saint Anne Parish School,
Respectfully,
Mrs. Dawn Kapka
Principal
