There are many styles of teaching and different classroom environments, all of which can provide a wonderful place for your child to learn and grow. The purpose of this form is for parents to provide the school with information regarding placement into the next grade level classes. This input from parents combined with the school’s data will facilitate the best possible placement for all students. Please complete the following questionnaire and return it to the South Ridge office by May 18, 2020 so your input can be considered in the placement of your child for the 2020-2021 school year.
Our philosophy on placing students: We strive to reach an equal mix of students’ abilities, attributes and personalities in each classroom. We also strive to match the student’s predominant learning style with the teacher's strengths. All of our teachers are highly qualified to meet expectations placed upon them. Therefore, please do not specifically request a teacher by name. Thank you.
