We are thrilled to announce that our school is partnering with the Wheelchair Foundation for Abilities Awareness Week April 14-18! As part of this collaboration, we aim to make a meaningful impact by donating 5 wheelchairs to individuals in need.

Join us in supporting this incredible cause! Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal. To learn more and contribute, visit: https://fundraise.wheelchairfoundation.org/campaign/altamont-creek-abilities-awareness-week/c676204

Thank you for helping us make a difference!

Toward the end of this school year, the staff at Altamont Creek will begin planning for our next school year. Part of our planning process is rostering students. We are committed to building balanced classrooms. Research indicates achievement is higher in classrooms with healthy dynamics; therefore, we week to build the best possible dynamics in EVERY classroom. Classes are balanced for number of students, gender, academic levels, personality types, student behaviors, and special needs. This is a challenging task. As part of the process, the staff must make recommendations for student placement that best meet the needs of all our students.

Although teachers' styles vary, each grade level spends significant time collaborating to make sure the same grade level standards are applied and, from class to class, each student receives a comparable education. Teachers, administrators, and specialists will follow a systematic process to ensure each child is placed in an appropriate and positive learning environment.

Parents often have a preferred teacher and teachers have families with whom they have built relationships with over the years. However, allowing parent requests severely hampers our staff's ability to create balanced classed. As a result, we have a NO TEACHER REQUEST policy. If you feel your child has a specific need you feel I need to be aware of, please complete the form (link below). Please DO NOT INCLUDE TEACHER NAME(S), as those will not be considered. Forms will be accepted until Friday, April 11th.
