  • A balanced of academic achievement levels
  • Behavior factors regarding each student
  • Compatibility of student with others in the classroom (i.e., separating students who have not worked well in the past)

End of June through August

Adjustments are made to incorporate new students and increased/decreased staffing.

During the First Two Weeks of School

Families and staff evaluate how the classroom assignments are working for students. If there are concerns, the following process is followed:

  1. Student participates in class for 10 school days. During that time, parents meet with the teacher to discuss concerns and problem solve.
  2. If concerns continue, information is provided in writing, identifying and clarifying the concerns.
  3. Principal meets with families and reviews the concern(s).
  4. If a Guidance Team review is warranted by Principal, a meeting will be set. Concerns and data will be reviewed by the Guidance Team. Families will be informed of the Guidance Team’s decision.
