26-27 Class List Message to Parents  

As we continue to plan for the 26/27 school year, we want to be transparent with families on the process we will be using to build equitable class lists for all students and staff.

To build and balance class lists, our teaching staff and administration we will be looking at the following areas.

Achievement/Test Scores 

Academic Level of Support Needs

Social/Emotional Support Needs

Health Needs

Gender

Learning Styles

Thanks for your understanding and trust in this process.  We are truly very excited for our students as we continue to plan for what will be a very successful 2026-27 school year!
