Dear Parents and Guardians:
The staff at Richardson is in the process of planning classroom assignments for the 2012-2013 school year. Students are placed in classes according to a variety of criteria including individual students’ needs, demonstrated independence and co-operation and a balance with regard to gender, ability and personality. Students do not necessarily remain within the same groupings from one year to the next. Socialization, flexibility and tolerance can be enhanced if students have the opportunity to play and work with different members of their peer group.
Your child’s present teacher has a year’s worth of current, rich information and insight concerning the conditions that foster your child’s success. Furthermore, information provided by the Learning Support teachers and other support staff will also help us in determining the best placement for your child.
If you wish to share information about your child and the kind of learning environment in which he/she learns best, please complete the Parent Information form, which is available at the office, before May 31, 2012. This information will be considered during the placement meetings.
You can be assured that all factors will be considered to ensure your child is placed in a classroom in which he/she will develop both academically and socially.
Please notify the school office if your child will not be returning to Richardson next year.
Sincerely,
Mr. M. Hicks Miss M. Smith,
Principal Vice-Principal
