Hello Doolittle Families,
Happy Spring! As Spring begins, it is time for Doolittle School staff to begin making preliminary classroom lists for the 2017-2018 school year.
The Doolittle staff works together to group students into new classes at each grade level. Our primary goals are to create classrooms that are heterogeneous in composition, reflecting the variety of students in our school, as well as place each child in an environment where s/he will learn best. We accomplish these goals by balancing classes with regard to gender, academic performance, special learning needs, independent work habits, and social-emotional development. Teachers try to ensure that a few classmates move together to new classes and that known peer conflicts are separated.
If you have additional information that you would like taken into account when assignments are made, please write me a letter by Monday, April 3, 2017.
* Requests for specific teachers cannot be honored.
* Requests NOT to have a specific teacher MAY be honored only if your family has had a previous child placed with that teacher and it would not be appropriate to place a sibling with that teacher.
The preliminary class lists that we develop by the end of this school year are subject to change over the summer as new students enroll, current students move or if teachers move or leave. Therefore, teacher/classroom assignments for the next school year will not be finalized until the end of the summer and will be available on PowerSchool in Mid August. Assignments will not be given out before that time.
Parent Conferences begin this week. We have early dismissals on 3/22, 3/28 and 3/30.
There is NO SCHOOL this Friday 3/24 as it is a professional Development day for Teachers.
