Policy No. 4550: Parent Input on Classroom Grouping Policy
Parent Input on Classroom Groupings
Parents who feel that their child has special needs not recognized by the teachers and principal may provide specific input concerning student placement. Parent input will be gathered during a minimum 2-week period in the spring that is designated per school. Parent input must be submitted in writing and presented at the principal's office by the parent.
Class groupings will be made in a manner that takes into account the individual needs of the students, as well as the composition of the whole group. Teachers working together will compile class lists and recommend them to the principal.
It is the responsibility of the principal to consider the parents' input and make final placement of the student.
Parents may request class change after school has started; however, changes in class enrollments will not be made for at least 10 school days. Again, the final decision on any changes must be made by the principal.
