3. School Council Meeting – Join us on Monday, April 23rd at 6:30pm in the Williamsburg library for our next School Council Meeting.  Everyone is welcome!

4. Creating Classes for September – In preparation for next year’s classes, teachers from each grade will be meeting with Special Education Staff and Administration to consider the placement of each child based on a combination of the following criteria:

  • Academic level
  • Learning Skills and Work Habits
  • Social/emotional levels of each student
  • Relationships that exist between our students
  • Balancing the special needs of students in each classroom

If you feel there are specific learning considerations that we should be addressing when making class placements, please feel free to submit them, in writing, and give them to Ms. Noonan by May 1st.  Please note that parent requests for a specific teacher will NOT be considered.

5. Are you Moving? – We are already working on developing the school organization for the 2018-2019 school year. To adequately plan and staff classrooms we need to have an accurate understanding of who will be attending our school in the fall. If you are moving, it is important to let us know. We also ask that you spread the word to any new families who are moving or have moved into our school community and ask them to contact the school as soon as possible. Accurate enrolment numbers in the spring help establish a smooth fall start-up and help to prevent a reorganization.

Have a great week!
