Linden Class Assignments… We are already starting to plan for next school year!  Questions often arise regarding how a child is assigned to a classroom.  Our primary concern is providing a quality education that meets the needs of all our students in well balanced, diverse classrooms   This is a complex task.  We consider the following criteria when making student class assignments.

 

·         Skill development

·         Boy/girl ratio

·         Relationship with other students

·         Special needs

·         Learning and teaching styles

 

When determining class assignments, we gather information from your child’s previous classroom teachers and any specialized personnel who have worked with your child.

 

As in the past few years, this school year we will not be accepting teacher requests. 

 

Thank you to Mrs. Bakos and Mrs. Paris for mainting our beautiful landscape in front of our school.  We are in need of two volunteers to take over the maintenance of weeding,  trimmimg the grasses and spreading woodchips next year.
