At OMS, the student placement process for the upcoming school year is taken seriously. Each spring, our staff engages in a collaborative process to create healthy learning groups. We work together to ensure balance in a wide variety of areas, including:
heterogeneously grouped students or students of varying abilities
students with special needs or concerns
social/behavioral patterns of students
gender
number of students assigned per room
learning styles of the students
peer relationships
classroom structure
instructional styles of the receiving teacher
documented physical aggressive behavior or bullying towards others.
We ask that you trust our staff in this process as we consider the needs of all 630 students.
However, if there is information that would not otherwise be known by your child's teacher or team, you will find an OPTIONAL form that you may fill out below. PLEASE DO NOT NAME SPECIFIC TEACHERS OR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS ON THIS FORM, AS WE DO NOT HONOR SPECIFIC REQUESTS. We appreciate your understanding and support.
We believe that students learn, grow, and mature; therefore, information submitted in previous years is not considered.
Final Date for submissions: Friday, April 17th.
OPTIONAL Class Placement Parent Input 26-27
