4.7 — Classroom Placement: School Policies and Services

(LCS policy 8.2)

The classroom placement policy is designed to promote educational excellence and fairness by optimizing the learning environment in both tracks at each grade level while meeting special needs of individual students.

Parents may request a specific classroom environment for their children by writing a letter to the Principal by April 15.  However, such requests are not guaranteed because they can lead to imbalances in the classroom environment.  Teachers at each grade level use their knowledge of classroom dynamics, special needs, balance of boys and girls, friendships, availability of volunteers, diversity of student achievement, etc., to determine classroom assignments in order to provide a fair and common education for all students.

Parents are required to submit a Student Classroom Profile Form.
