Central Elementary R.O.A.R. Report

Dear Central Families,

We are starting to prepare for class placement for the upcoming school year. Our staff puts much intent and thought to the process of student placement, making sure that each class is well balanced. From recognizing individual academic needs to navigating the social dynamics of the classroom, our teachers are dedicated to creating an environment that fosters success for every child. Significant time and effort are devoted to ensuring the right placement for each student, as well as maintaining classroom dynamics that support a positive learning experience.

When making student placements, we consider all of the following factors: learning styles of individual children, teaching styles of teacher, special needs and strengths of the learner, gender balance, and peer relationships. We greatly appreciate your trust in our Central staff to place your child in the best learning environment.

While we value your input and want to ensure classroom placements reflect the best interests of all students, we want to clarify that, due to the many factors involved in creating balanced and effective class lists (such as the ones mentioned above), teacher requests cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a teacher request or any other input that you would like us to consider, please fill out the google form or email Mrs. Heaton (heatonc@unionrxi.org) with your request along with a brief explanation by Friday, April 25th. If you are unable to send your request by email, you may submit a physical letter to Mrs. Heaton in the office.

We are lucky to work with an incredible team of educators who value your child’s growth and success. Regardless of the classroom your child is placed in next year, we are confident they will receive the best educational experience and most importantly, they will be treated with love, care, and respect. We encourage you to place your trust in our expertise in placing your child in the most suitable classroom environment for their academic and social development.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Claire Heaton

Central Elementary Principal
